Juris Fund
Deans Discretionary Fund
The Juris Fund gives the dean of LMU Loyola Law School the flexibility to allocate resources when and where they are most needed. Juris Fund support allows Loyola to offer scholarships that attract and retain top students; fund clinical and programmatic enhancements that raise our profile and serve our community; and invest in opportunities that capitalize on Loyola's strengths.
Juris Fund Mission & Impact
Your gift to the Juris Fund fuels new mission-centered initiatives:
Access
Every year a significant portion of Juris Fund dollars go directly to increase the amount of scholarship and financial aid the school can award. This enables Loyola to attract and retain the very best students and honors our mission in making legal education and training accessible to those who want it.
Scholarship
Loyola’s faculty are sought-after thought-leaders in almost every facet of law and policy. Juris Fund dollars allow Loyola to invest in faculty research and innovation. This not only brings distinction to the faculty member and the school, but sustains an environment where Loyola students learn about, research, and leverage new dynamics of the law.
Service
Loyola offers 20+ live-client clinical opportunities that allow students to use their training to help those who cannot otherwise afford legal services. Not only do we help fill the access to justice gap facing some of the most communities, we do so while training the next generation of advocates and leaders.
Connection
Alumni support and mentorship are cornerstones of the Loyola experience. These connections better prepare our students for practice and offer opportunities for alumni to network while deepening their relationship with the Law School. Juris Fund dollars initiate new alumni engagement opportunities like alumni chapters, regional events, and service projects.
