5 facts you didn’t know about the Argo Scholarship

You’ve heard about the €15,000 Argo Scholarship, but how much do you really know about it? Sure, it helps fund your LLM or business school ambitions, but there’s more to it than just the financial boost. Here are five facts that might surprise you – and convince you to hit ‘apply’ before the 7 March deadline.

#1 You can combine it with other scholarships

Already secured funding? Good for you! Even better: the Argo Scholarship can be combined with other grants. More support, less financial stress and an even bigger opportunity to make your academic plans happen.

Good to know: The scholarship can be used for both tuition and housing fees. Just make sure to check the conditions of any other funding you apply for. For instance, the Fayat Scholarship doesn’t allow recipients to combine grants. However, it’s always best to check directly with the institution to confirm the latest conditions.

#2 The choice is yours: UK, US, EU or business school

Not every scholarship gives you full freedom on where to study. This one does. Whether you’re heading to Harvard, Oxford, Leiden or Lisbon, the Argo Scholarship covers LLM programmes across the UK, US, and EU. And here’s something new: since this year, the scholarship is also open to business school applicants.

Something you might not have considered: Funding for LLM programmes within Europe is often limited, making the Argo Scholarship a rare opportunity.

#3 You can start in 2025 or 2026

No need to rush your decision. You can use the scholarship for studies starting in 2025 or 2026.

We know that the application process takes time. That’s why we’re flexible – as long as you start your programme in 2025 or 2026, we’re happy to support you. Whether you’re still exploring your options or focused on exams, you can apply now, secure your funding and take the next step when you’re ready.

#4 You don’t need any M&A experience

Worried you don’t have a background in corporate law? Don’t be. No prior M&A knowledge is required to participate in the Argo Scholarship.

The challenge isn’t about being an M&A expert. It’s about showing how you think, problem-solve, and collaborate under pressure. And don’t worry, you’ll be guided by our  lawyers throughout the process.

#5 It’s not just about the money

Yes, €15,000 is great, but the Argo Scholarship is much more than just a financial boost.

It’s an opportunity to experience a law firm from the inside. You’ll work on a real-life legal case, connect with experienced lawyers and experience first-hand what it’s like to be part of a top-tier firm. And that all in one day.

Even if you don’t win the scholarship, you’ll walk away with:

✔️ Valuable experience tackling a real case

✔️ New connections with like-minded students and legal professionals

✔️ A taste of the corporate legal world before making any career decisions
