Huskies United 2025 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!

 

College of Law Student Scholarship Fund – When 50 gifts of $50 or more are made to the College of Law Student Scholarship Fund, a $15,000 gift will be made by a generous donor. 


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.


The Student Emergency Fund – This fund provides assistance to currently enrolled College of Law students who are experiencing an emergency that impacts their ability to attend law school and need short-term support to help them continue their education.    


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