Financial Aid


There is a very limited amount of scholarship funding for SJD students. All SJD applicants are considered for these scholarship opportunities as part of the admission process. Applicants do not need to undertake additional steps to be considered for these opportunities. Emory does not pay travel expenses for prospective SJD students to visit the Emory campus. 

Many SJD students fund their education entirely, or in part, through external grants and scholarships. Many SJD students are able to gain funding from their home university of government to attend the SJD program at Emory. The following list of possible external funding sources is intended to provide prospective students with ideas for additional possible funding sources.
