Linklaters Making Links Scholarship Programme

Linklaters Luxembourg and the University of Luxembourg have partnered to launch the Linklaters Making Links Programme in Luxembourg, recognising and supporting outstanding students pursuing a Bachelor of Law degree at the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF).

The Making Links Programme, which is also being implemented in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Milan, Paris and Stockholm is specifically designed to help talented university students from underrepresented groups succeed in their early careers by supporting the development of technical and professional skills whilst building strong commercial fluency and a global outlook. 

Two high-potential students, who also demonstrate financial need, will be selected in their second year of the Bachelor in Law degree and will receive a scholarship of €3,000 during their final year. They will also be offered a Legal summer Internship at Linklaters.
