Give to KU Law

At KU Law, we are incredibly proud of our students and faculty and all their achievements. Many of these successes would not be possible without private support.

Make a Gift

Overview

Attending law school would be out of the question for many KU Law students without scholarships and other financial aid. In a typical year, more than 80% of future Jayhawk lawyers receive financial support from the law school. Scholarships help ensure that a KU legal education remains accessible to all.

We appreciate your support and hope that you will continue to be generous to our students and our program.

The first thing I learned as a freshman was that the Jayhawk Spirit touches every corner of the globe, and at its core is the call for Jayhawks to help one another. This idea has rung through in every aspect of my journey as a KU student. Receiving a scholarship is just another great example of the spirit that makes KU so special. Personally, it has allowed me the opportunity to attend law school, a dream that would not be possible without it. My scholarship has allowed me to focus on my studies while being able to continue the tradition of helping others through public interest work, student organizations and fostering outside camaraderie with classmates. I will forever be grateful to the donors who have made this dream possible for me and other KU Law students.

I chose to attend KU Law because of my scholarship. It has allowed me to focus my attention fully on getting the most out of my law school experience, including law review board, moot court and mock trial, pro bono projects, externing in federal court and leading a student organization, to name just a few. KU Law offers incredible career development opportunities for students willing to dig in and make the most of their three years in Green Hall. My scholarship has enabled me to do just that. I am forever grateful to the donors who invested in me and helped me launch my legal career.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the Polsinelli Transactional Law Center had a year of unprecedented and phenomenal success. KU Law students won first place in three national transactional law competitions, which I believe makes us the No. 1 transactional law competition program in the country. Our students also had the chance to develop transactional skills by taking courses on renewable energy transactions, the corporate transparency act, due diligence in business transactions and contract drafting, as well as by attending a series of lunch-and-learn discussions featuring leading transactional attorneys.
