Why Georgia Law Needs Your Support

Georgia Law welcomes gifts from individuals, corporations and foundations, and facilitates the use of those critical resources to help lift the law school to heights it could not attain solely through public funding. Gifts to the law school are used to provide scholarships for superior students, support distinguished faculty scholars and researchers, strengthen research and teaching programs, and build vitally needed facilities for law school activities.

The Law School Fund

The Law School Fund is the nucleus of the giving program. Gifts of any size are welcome and may be made at any time during the year. Each year, the Georgia Law relies on annual contributions from its alumni and friends to provide essential operating dollars.  $650,000 is needed for the upcoming academic year.  For the law school to raise these funds, we need your help.

70% of annual contributions to the Law School Fund directly benefit law students, particularly in the area of scholarship assistance.  All expenditures are approved through an itemized budget request presented to the Law School Association Council and voted on by the greater Georgia Law alumni body during its annual meeting.  Law School Fund contributions received during this fiscal year are spent next fiscal year.  Our fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.
