The Graduate Tax Program Merit Scholarship
Each admitted applicant is automatically considered for the Graduate Tax Program Merit Scholarship. The scholarship—of up to 50% of total the tuition costs—may be offered to admitted applicants who can demonstrate excellence in their past tax work, exceptional potential for future success in the tax profession, and the prospect of becoming a successful, collegial member of the UCI Law community. Applications completed by January 15 will receive favorable consideration.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) Scholarship Program
Beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year, the UC Irvine School of Law Graduate Tax Program will offer a $20,000 tuition scholarship to admitted students who have volunteered or worked with a Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC). To qualify for the scholarship, the admitted student must have volunteered with a Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic for at least 125 hours during law school or must have been employed at a Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic for at least six months. If you have any questions about this scholarship program, please contact Executive Director, Natascha Fastabend at nfastabend@law.uci.edu.

LL.M. students will be automatically enrolled in the Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan (GSHIP). Students may opt-out of GSHIP if they show proof of having sufficient health insurance coverage. More information about health insurance can be found on the Student Health Center's website.
