The Drapers’ Company scholarship - The Drapers’ scholarship is offered every year by the Drapers’ Company of London, enabling one student from each graduating class of William & Mary Law School to earn an LL.M. degree at Queen Mary College of the University of London. Ryan Igbanol, who will graduate from the Law School in May, is the 2007-08 Drapers’ scholar and will attend Queen Mary College in the fall.

Tuition exchange - allows the student to spend a semester or year at a foreign university while paying their usual tuition to William & Mary.

Faculty-led, summer - summer programs around the world led by William & Mary faculty. Courses in these programs are taught by our own faculty and by faculty from our host institutions.

W&M sponsored - William and Mary faculty have established special relationships with these foreign universities which allow students to enroll at and receive transfer credits from these institutions seamlessly.

There are currently 45 students participating in study-abroad programs in Great Britain.
