Law School Scholarship Fund

Support students demonstrating financial need and academic achievement through this fund.

At UB, we strive to attract qualified students from all walks of life. We believe, fervently, that an equal and fair judicial system must reflect the full range of cultures, beliefs and voices of our democracy. No law school can be exceptional if only the financially privileged can attend.

Scholarships often are the deciding factor in where applicants choose to go to law school—or if they can go at all. At UB, most of our students come from modest family backgrounds, and depend on need-based scholarships. Many of our students are first-generation law students. It is critical that we expand our commitment to limit the burden of student debt and broaden our students’ opportunities.

The Law School Scholarship Fund was established by members of the law school.
