Lifting legal leaders
KU Law is educating problem-solving lawyers with the power to change people’s lives for the better. As our students weigh their career options, we want them to have the freedom to pursue their passions, whether they lead to private practice or the public defender’s office. Every dollar donated to scholarships makes attending KU Law more affordable – so future Jayhawk lawyers can worry less about paying off student loans and more about championing the best interests of their clients.
“Scholarships make it possible for me to attend school and still provide for my son,” said Kriston Guillot, L’17. “They allow me to focus on class rather than on how I will make ends meet. I spend my evenings studying and planning my future success rather than working to live paycheck to paycheck. KU Law scholarships provide more than dollars; they provide a sense of dignity.”
More than half of contributions to KU Law’s recent Far Above capital campaign created new scholarships or strengthened existing ones, and scholarships remain our top priority as we strive to sustain the affordability and excellence that have ranked KU Law among the nation’s top-20 Best Value Law Schools for three years straight.
“Scholarships are making it possible for me to pursue my career goals in public service and nonprofit organizations,” said Brynn Blair, L’18. “Instead of taking a high-paying job after graduation to pay off my student debt, I will be able to take a job I am truly passionate about to pursue my goals.”
