Einstein Legacy Student Scholarships
Rachael Ostroff

RACHAEL OSTROFF, Ottawa

  • Rothberg International School – LL.M. in Human Rights & International Law – October 2021
  • Received the Martha Cohen Endowment Student Scholarship

Since her first visit to the Mount Scopus campus, it has been Rachael’s dream to study at the Hebrew University.

Currently completing her Juris Doctor degree at the University of Ottawa, Rachael also holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Philosophy from McGill University and a Master of Arts (MA) in Political Economy from Carleton University.

Rachael will be studying for an International LL.M. in Human Rights & International Law, confident that this will provide an exceptional foundation for her to embark on her legal career. The LL.M program will provide her with the opportunity to deepen her knowledge of international economic law and to begin her own research into the regulation of multi-jurisdictional crime.

She is also hoping to use this opportunity to build her professional network in Israel, with the ultimate goal of making Aliyah in the near future.
