Through the generosity of our donors and partners, American Friends of Bucerius is able to make several scholarships available each year to students who are seeking opportunities to study at Bucerius Law School (BLS) in Hamburg, Germany, either through the semester-length exchange program or the summer school programs.
The eligibility and selection criteria vary for each scholarship, and new scholarship funds continue to be established. Generally speaking, students must be enrolled in one of the BLS Partner Schools in the United States. To determine whether or not your school is a BLS partner, students should speak with someone in their academic department or in the international/study abroad office.
