Huskies United 2024 has ended, but you can still make your gift here.
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!

 

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.  


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.

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.


50th Anniversary Endowment Fund – The College of Law is celebrating 50 years of excellence!  This fund has been established for student scholarships and other critical needs of the College of Law.


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