GIVING
Change the Life of a Student
The gift of a scholarship is transformative. For the student, it means the chance to embark on a legal career and achieve a lifelong goal. For the donor, it is an opportunity to gain the satisfaction of knowing that you have made a profound difference.
With the increasing costs of attending law school and the rigorous competition for top students among our peers, the need to expand our scholarship program is urgent. Around 50 percent of students receive some form of Hofstra Law scholarship assistance. Through your gift, you have the opportunity to impact both the life of a single student and the broader reputation of Hofstra Law.
Scholarship Opportunities
Your gift to the Hofstra Law Scholarship Fund supports our annual scholarship budget, counts toward our annual fundraising goal and boosts our alumni participation rate. There are also special opportunities to name a scholarship or graduation award.
