Alan (鈥�68) and Jerry Heath (Educ鈥�70) have established the first endowed scholarship at Colorado Law for LLM applicants.
Colorado Law鈥檚 LLM degree program is global in scope and designed for talented lawyers from diverse backgrounds and countries. The LLM program fully immerses students in Colorado Law and offers inclusive access to programming, courses/modules, and the greater CU 麻豆影院 campus. JD and LLM students learn side by side and from each other.
Alan and Jerry were inspired to establish the scholarship with a focus on international students due to their personal and professional ties to Latin America. 鈥淢y wife, Jerry, and I have had a long relationship with M茅xico and Latin America, going back over 30 years,鈥� Alan said. 鈥淚 have worked in M茅xico and Central and South America over the years, and we have made many friends in the area as a result. Consequently, we decided to establish a scholarship primarily benefiting lawyers in M茅xico and South America who desire obtaining an LLM in the U.S. from a respected law school.鈥�
LLM program course options are diverse, and all LLM students have the ability to design programs of study suited to their academic and professional interests. While students complete most courses at the law school, they have the opportunity to complement their legal studies with graduate-level courses in other departments across campus.
The Heaths hope that by establishing this scholarship, other students can take advantage of the LLM program in the same manner Alan did and receive financial assistance in the process.
