College of Law Scholarships
Huskies United for College of Law

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!

 

Daniel S. Reynolds Scholarship Fund - Few people have impacted the College of Law like Professor Emeritus Dan Reynolds. At Dan’s request, and in his memory, the College of Law has established this fund to help recruit applicants with excellent academic credentials.

Embracing Diversity Scholarship - One of our bedrock values is to create an inclusive and diverse community.  The Embracing Diversity scholarship provides financial support for rising second- and third-year students who create, manage, and oversee a series of talks and community conversations addressing issues of socio-economic diversity.

George Taseff Memorial Scholarship - The George Taseff Memorial Scholarship supports potential and/or current students pursuing a career in criminal defense. 

Leonard and Stacey Mandell Endowed Scholarship for the Study of Law - Established in memory of former Associate Dean Lenny Mandell. This award provides scholarship support to incoming and/or current law school students.
