Financial Information
Enrollment in the LL.M. program is contingent on the applicant presenting proof of sufficient financial resources.
In the ordinary case, this proof will be in the form of a letter from the applicant, a letter from the applicant’s
sponsor (if applicable), and a letter from a bank or other financial institution verifying that the applicant or the
applicant’s sponsor has funds sufficient to cover the anticipated expenses. Washington and Lee will be able to offer
only limited financial assistance to its LL.M. students; applicants are therefore encouraged to apply for financial
