Scholarships empower deserving and high-caliber students from all backgrounds to follow their dreams by improving access and equity in legal education. By investing in students today, we remove financial barriers to fuel the legal minds and leaders of tomorrow. Scholarship support grows not only an individual’s prosperity, but a robust legal community, and ultimately grows a philanthropic community to continue to give back for generations to come. The initiative goal is to triple our annual philanthropic scholarship support and raise $10 million by 2026.
Legal education and students are facing a new and challenging landscape during these unprecedented times. For many students, the generosity of others will enable them to continue their studies during such times of financial uncertainty and hardship.
The 100% Giving Challenge is a meaningful way for your organization to help support legal education, students, and innovative learning in a new era.

Join the Albertus Magnus Society with a simple bequest to UH Law Center
How can I be certain the gift to the Law Center that I plan to someday make will be made? Becoming a member of the Albertus Magnus Society provides a way. The Albertus Magnus Society honors individuals who have included provisions in their will or estate plan benefiting the UH Law Center. Members are invited to an annual reception with the dean and their far-reaching support of the school is recognized in appropriate publications. Simply inform us that you have included the University of Houston Law Center in your will or estate plans and you will be added to the donor roll.
There are many ways to support the UH Law Center, but when you plan a gift as part of your long-term estate and financial plans, you will support law students and programs far into the future while still ensuring that your loved ones are taken care of.
The market for top law professors is extremely competitive – and the Law Center is committed to retaining its existing faculty members and recruiting superior candidates to fill positions as they arise. Adequate funding is the primary key to success in these initiatives, and gifts from alumni and other supporters represent invaluable resources that play a vital role in defining the future of the Law Center.
With the support of generous alumni donors, the University of Houston Law Center has raised $93 million for the John M. O'Quinn Law Building.
