The Remala Family Scholarship will provide a full-tuition scholarship to one Indian student each year so they can complete their degree
Meritorious Indian students with financial need will have support to secure a graduate law degree from Seattle University School of Law’s Master of Laws (LLM) Program, thanks to an endowment from the Satya and Rao Remala Family Foundation.
The programme – named the Remala FamilyScholarship – will offer a full-tuition scholarship to one Indian student each year so they can complete their degree. The scholarship is open to academically bright students who demonstrate financial need. Apart from tuition, the scholars will receive academic and mentoring support.
“We are proud to support Seattle University School of Law’s efforts to build a bridge with India and its future law practitioners,” says Rao Remala, who leads the foundation with his wife, Satya. “The spirit of this scholarship aligns with our family foundation’s efforts to give aspiring Indian students access to first-rate higher education programs, so they can build better lives for themselves like I was able to do.”
“The Remala Family Fellows who receive these scholarships in the years to come will benefit from life-changing opportunities here at Seattle U Law to move their careers forward and benefit their communities. In addition, the presence of these outstanding scholars at Seattle University will enhance our intellectual life and deepen our engagement with India,” says Anthony E Varona, dean of thelaw school .
Seattle U Law’s LLM Program offers two options. A tech focused LLM in Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship, enables lawyers and recent law graduates to develop specific expertise in a variety of legal areas, including privacy law, data and cybersecurity, Internet law and digital commerce, financial technology, and artificial intelligence. Also available is a general LLM in American Legal Studies, which serves foreign-trained lawyers and graduates of non-US law schools who want to learn US law and/or sit for qualifying exams to practice law in the United States.
“The globalised nature of commerce and technology in India means that attorneys need experience handling cross-border legal issues. Students in Seattle U law’s LLM Program gain valuable knowledge and training in these and other issues,” says Sital Kalantry, associate dean of graduate studies and international programs and associate professor of law.

The India Center for Law and Justice, founded by Kalantry and based at Seattle U Law, promotes engagement with India through exchange programmes and the hosting of distinguished speakers and conferences of legal scholars and lawyers from India and the US. It has also spearheaded the development of innovative fast-track dual degree programmes with law schools in India – including Jindal Global Law School – where students are able to complete both an Indian law degree and an American law degree.
