附：SOHMEN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM – SMU – DEDMAN SCHOOL OF LAW

Each year SMU Dedman School of Law awards several scholarships to outstanding Chinese law students who plan to pursue an LL.M. degree at our institution. These scholarships provide full tuition for one year and an $8,000 living stipend. The scholarships were established through the generosity of one of our LL.M. alumni, Dr. Helmut Sohmen, Chairman of BW Group, Ltd. in Hong Kong.

Sohmen Scholars are selected on the basis of several criteria, including demonstrated academic performance, facility in the English language, and commitment to contributing to the growth of the rule of law in China. Sohmen Scholars are required to return to China within seven months of graduation and maintain China as their principal residence for two years following graduation. Scholars who fail to meet these requirements will be expected to repay the entire amount of the scholarship and living stipend with interest.

The selection process for the Sohmen Scholarships is extremely competitive. Only a handful of scholarships were awarded in each of the last few years. In the past, we interviewed only a select group of law students from prestigious Chinese universities who were sponsored and strongly recommended by their Deans or professors.

Jennifer M. Collins, The Judge James Noel Dean and Professor of Law, along with Paul Rogers, Professor of Law, will conduct the interviews by SKYPE this year.  No more than five students from each institution will be interviewed.

We are honored to have your esteemed institution participate in this program.
