College of Law

The college's key funding priorities are:

Scholarships and Fellowships

The goal of this program is to fund a student's three-year course of legal education. These scholarships will be used to recruit the best-qualified applicants. A single scholarship requires an endowment of $125,000. This amount generates approximately $5,625 annually, to cover the in-state tuition and fees to attend the college for one year.

Chairs and Professorships

This program attracts eminent scholars to join the law faculty. Endowed chairs and professorships enable the college to attract the most distinguished and highly regarded faculty in selected areas of study. University endowed chairs require a minimum gift of $500,000 and endowed professorships require a minimum gift of $200,000.

Facilities and Equipment

A major priority of the College of Law is integrating technology into all areas of operation, research and teaching and increasing technological proficiency among faculty, students and staff. The college's cutting-edge position in the use of technology in legal education will be greatly enhanced by the establishment of a technology endowment.

Academic Programs

This program includes the establishment of endowed centers, faculty research grants, excellence in teaching endowment, tax clinic endowment, law library endowment and student academic organizations endowment.
