Francis X. Riley Memorial Fund

Scholarship support for students remains the law school’s top fundraising priority. We encourage you to support one of the following areas that we consider important sources of funds.  Your gift will provide much needed financial assistance to the next generation of lawyers!

 

The Francis X. Riley Memorial Scholarship honors an exceptional and dedicated teacher as well as a mentor to many in the early classes.  No person played a bigger role in the early years of Lewis College of Law, and this scholarship will be an important source of funds to address students’ financial needs.

 

Because today is the NIU Day of Giving, your gift will also be part of several challenges from the NIU Law Alumni Council and others who are encouraging their fellow alums to support any of these programs. Your gift could make all the difference in meeting this challenge!

 

Join the NIU Law family and support our students today. Go Huskies!
