About the Endowment

This fundraising initiative began when three Leadership Scholars decided to launch an unprecedented project in the history of the School of Law. The students wanted a meaningful way to thank the many alumni and friends that give generously each year in support of student scholarships. They decided to establish an endowment that will lead to funding additional Leadership Scholar awards.

Goals

Fundraising

The fundraising goal is $50,000, the minimum to establish an endowment. To date, we are already more than halfway towards reaching this goal!

Participation

The participation goal is 100 percent of Leadership Scholars - past and present - supporting our efforts.

Your Involvement

All Leadership Scholars are encouraged to participate by making a gift or pledge in support of the Legacy Endowment. Whether you are a first-year, second-year, third-year, or recent graduate, it is important to continue the cycle of giving that has allowed you to receive your support. It is up to you to give back - to begin a legacy for those students that follow.

Please join us in continuing our legacy at Maryland Law.
