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!
Dean’s Strategic Initiatives Fund – This fund allows the Dean to have maximum flexibility in addressing its most pressing needs. A portion of the fund provides Bar Prep Scholarships for graduates studying for the bar examination.
Leona S. Green Diversity Initiatives Fund – This fund is named in memory of the first and longest-tenured African American professor at the College of Law for her commitment to students, service to the law school, and for being a champion of diversity throughout her career. It will provide financial support for diversity and racial and social justice initiatives, including student scholarships and programming.
Leonard & Stacey Mandell Endowed Scholarship for the Study of Law – Former Associate Dean Lenny Mandell served the students for over 30 years. This scholarship in the College of Law will help us continue our recruiting efforts to further access, opportunity and diversity in the law and assist current students in need.
Daniel S. Reynolds Memorial Scholarship Fund - Few people have impacted the College of Law like Professor Emeritus Dan Reynolds. At his request, and in his memory, the College of Law has established this fund to help recruit applicants with excellent academic credentials.
Embracing Diversity Scholarship Fund - The Embracing Diversity Scholarship Fund provides support for the College of Law to advance the education and awareness of current students, alumni and friends on or about issues of socio-economic diversity. The ED Fund awards a College of Law student a scholarship to help in the support of the student’s work in creating a socio-economic diversity series.
