Scholarship for Diversity One of Clifford Chance’s global corporate principles is diversity. In all spheres we enjoy working with people of different nationalities and cultures, with different experiences and backgrounds. We are convinced that this enriches us, as well as our clients. To this end, the Clifford Chance Scholarship for Diversity aims to award young IE University students who, based on these different realities, have a series of competencies and interests including: a legal calling and the pursuit of excellence, passion for international, dynamic and highquality work and making the client the focus of all our work. Clifford Chance has collaborated with IE University from its inception, granting scholarships to three law students and our feedback on them is enormously positive. They all have a calling to international work, multidisciplinary interests and considerable, healthy ambition, something which foreshadows exceptional professional careers.

“ I received the Cuatrecasas Scholarship with the help of an advisor who encouraged me apply. He knew my true potential and how I would be able to excel through this internship. Many firstyear students don’t have the support of their university right from day one. Thanks to this opportunity, I know my time at IE University will go above and beyond my expectations”
María Laura Acosta Rincón LL.B. Alumna at IE University
Scholarship for the Excellence in Law Practice Through the Pérez-Llorca Scholarship for the Excellence in Law Practice, we offer IE University students the opportunity to put the challenges of the daily practice of law to the test. We have had the opportunity to welcome students in the first years of their studies. We really enjoy this experience because on one hand, we get to know the students, and on the other hand, they can see what it means to work at a law firm. This is a very enriching experience for both parties. IE University stands out because of the tremendous diversity in its student body; this means that the students’ profiles are even more interesting. All students have left a very good impression on us: They’ve shown great interest and capacity to adapt, and above all, a great deal of knowledge when it comes to the legal sector.
