International Alumni Giving
Judy Horowitz LLM Scholarship Fund
Judy Horowitz worked closely with four Deans to build a top-notch International Studies program at Duke Law. The Horowitz LLM Scholarship Fund was created to honor Horowitz, and provides a permanent source of funds for full and partial scholarships every year to a deserving student who will have a positive impact on their countries and regions.
Jennifer Maher LLM Scholarship Fund
This fund allows Duke Law to offer scholarships to outstanding LLM candidates. Each year, hundreds of qualified candidates apply for these scholarships to offset the cost of tuition. The need for donors continues to increase, so that Duke Law can continue to attract the most qualified and deserving students and maintain the reputation of the Duke LLM degree.

Jomarc Philip E. Dimapilis - Recipient of the Jennifer Maher LLM Scholarship
Jomarc Dimapilis attended law school at San Beda University College of Law in Manila, Philippines after working as a neuro-surgery and critical care nurse for several years. Now in private practice at a law firm he co-founded in Manila, he focuses on government permits and regulation, corporate liquidation, estate planning and settlement, and special projects. Growing up in a family of modest means, Dimapilis values education more than any material wealth. He aspires to be a public servant and to establish an educational foundation to help those in rural areas send their children to school.
Ines Ndonko Nnoko, LLM'20 - Recipient of the Judy Horowitz LLM Scholarship
Ndonko Nnoko's interest in environmental law took root in her hometown of Njombe, Cameroon, which is dominated by a single agribusiness that grows fruit for export. Ndonko Nnoko has been intent on making the environment the focus of her practice since completing her bachelor's degree in law and political science. She hopes to pursue a "PhD program [and return] to Cameroon to teach and mentor young students interested in Environmental Law."
Maria "Alice" Dias LLM'19, Maher Scholarship Donor
"Giving back to the LLM Scholarship Fund is my way of contributing to talented students who follow me in having the best year of their lives at Duke Law!"
Lin Chua LLM'00, Horowitz Scholarship Donor
"So many important relationships or milestones in my 20 year career lead back to Duke in some way. The Duke International LLM Program is a key part of who I am. It defines me, and I want to “pay it forward” so others can also be a part of this unique community and experience."
