The UW School of Law’s Sustainable International Development Law program is pleased to partner with TRACE International, a leading nonprofit membership organization focused on anti-bribery compliance, to offer a new LL.M. scholarship aimed at developing exceptional young leaders in the field of anti-corruption who are committed to advancing commercial transparency.
The TRACE Scholarship Program will fully fund, with tuition, lodging and travel, to an international lawyer from a developing country to pursue studies related to strategies and tools for increasing transparency and reducing corruption. The person selected as a TRACE Scholar must be ready to commence his/her studies in late August 2014 for a period of one year.
TRACE Scholars will have a demonstrated interest in anti-corruption efforts and will write their LL.M. thesis on a subject related to anticorruption: international instruments, compliance or enforcement. They will enroll in relevant courses focused on business ethics, rule of law, governance and/or economic development. The TRACE Scholar Program will provide emerging leaders and professionals with an interest in anti-corruption and bribery prevention with an intensive course of study followed by a practical and “hands-on” internship.
