Scholarships and Loan Forgiveness Funds
Our students are the heart of Texas Law. Few things have greater long-term impact on student success than the financial aid we are able to offer. Scholarships and loan forgiveness programs draw a robust, diverse, and talented applicant pool. And this support reduces the financial toll of a law school education.
Named, endowed scholarships or loan forgiveness funds may be established in the name of the donor or someone the donor wishes to honor. Gifts creating a named, endowed scholarship or loan forgiveness fund may be fulfilled through pledge payments made over a maximum five-year period.

The Power of Endowment
The power of a named endowment is that the gift is leveraged through investment to provide a scholarship each year, meaning the gift is never exhausted.
Your Impact
” I … have you all to thank for believing in the students at Texas Law. Thank you for expressing your faith in us by investing in our futures. And finally, thank you for showing me that I have a community supporting me in my academic endeavors that I never could have thought existed until I came to Texas Law. My heart is full of gratitude knowing this!” — Alexis M.
