With a diversified classroom setting, MIPLC offered the greatest academic, social, and professional experience to me. I was amazed by how classroom discussions could become so interesting due to our different professional backgrounds and cultures. Thanks to the MIPLC Alumni Advisory Board and family who helped to make such an incredible experience possible for me!

The MIPLC marked its 10th anniversary in 2013 by inaugurating the MIPLC Alumni Scholarship. After ten years, the alumni community was considered strong enough, both in numbers and professional seniority, to support an ambitious young IP professional in joining the program. Today our alumni community has grown to over 500 members with an impressive list of employers and careers.
In light of this development, our long-term objective is to fund a full tuition waiver each year for a well-deserving LL.M. candidate. Currently, we are working towards a 50%-waiver as a stepping stone to this goal.
