These Scholarships have been initiated after the death of Elizabeth Hodgson pursuant to the Hodgson Will Trust.  The Hodgson Trustees have resolved to set up a scheme of Hodgson Law Scholars to be selected through a Selection Committee.  The Committee will choose two or more Hodgson Law Scholars each year from applicants from colleges and universities worldwide.  Scholars will attend the Liverpool Law School at the University of Liverpool or the School of Law at Liverpool John Moores University and pursue a postgraduate degree in law. 

Accordingly, applications are sought from talented law students who wish to study full-time at the University of Liverpool or Liverpool John Moores University for a post-graduate degree in law.  Applicants may be of any age but the applicants’ undergraduate qualifications must provide a sufficient basis for their further study in the proposed field.

LLM Scholars will be elected for one year full time study. The LLM Scholarship application is a separate and distinct application from the application for a place on the postgraduate degree course. Before applying for a Scholarship, you must first apply to the Liverpool University Selection Committee for a scholarship connected to a place at Liverpool University or to the Liverpool John Moores University Selection Committee for a scholarship connected with a place at Liverpool John Moores University.

The Hodgson Law Scholarships are not available to applicants who are legal residents of the European Union, including the United Kingdom, and Hodgson Law Scholars will be ineligible to apply for other scholarships or bursaries at the University of Liverpool or Liverpool John Moores University.

Students interested in applying for the Hodgson Law Scholarship are advised to make preparation for the application well in advance of the deadline for applications to their chosen course of study.  Documents required (for the scholarship) include:

• academic transcripts and certificates (including English language qualifications);
• a certified copy of the applicant’s birth certificate;
• the relevant institutionally endorsed bachelor’s degree certificate (when it becomes available);
• two references attesting to the candidate’s academic ability to undertake a postgraduate degree in law and one
• reference attesting to the candidate’s good character (no reference may be submitted by a member of the candidate’s family);
• two passport sized photographs of the candidate certified to be a true likeness of the candidate by a suitably responsible professional person known to the candidate (e.g. lawyer, teacher, doctor);
• an essay of application (see essay guidance below). 

All University tuition fees will be paid on the Hodgson Law Scholars’ behalf by the Hodgson Trustees. In addition, each Hodgson Law Scholar will receive a maintenance allowance of £6,000 as a contribution towards their living expenses in the United Kingdom.

The deadline for Hodgson Law Scholarship applications for academic year 2016-2017 is 1st July 2016.
