McGeorge School of Law

2024 marks the Law School's 100th Anniversary. Since the Law School's humble beginnings as a one-room, night school, McGeorge has grown and earned worldwide renown by providing a distinctive legal education rooted in a commitment to academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and experiential learning. The Law School offers a curriculum that is responsive to the rapid and structural changes to legal practice and is focused on providing an education that meets the needs of today's students pursuing advanced degrees.


We invite you to join us and celebrate our centennial anniversary and support one of the following areas during Pacific Gives 2024, to ensure McGeorge remains a leader in innovative legal education. You may also choose to give directly to any scholarship or program within McGeorge School of Law by selecting "Other" on the donation form. 


Diverse Bar Exam Support Stipend

This stipend aims to advance diversity within the legal community by supporting underrepresented students during bar preparation, with the goal of increasing McGeorge's bar pass percentage rate. 


Kennedy Family Endowed Scholarship

The Kennedy Family Endowed Scholarship will benefit JD students with financial need who are the first in their families to attend college.


Anthony M. Kennedy Endowed Fellows Scholarship

The Kennedy Endowed Fellows Scholarship enables McGeorge to recruit and retain the brightest students. Kennedy Fellows enrich an already remarkable learning environment through their engagement in vibrant and challenging classroom discourse.


John Kirlin Scholarship

The Kirlin Scholarship will support incoming or current Public Administration (MPA) and Public Policy (MPP) students that demonstrate a commitment to public service. 


Joseph R. Lasser Part-Time Student Summer Tuition Scholarship

The Lasser Scholarship is for part-time law students facing significant financial barriers to pay for their required summer courses. Priority is given to students who cannot use subsidized federal student loans. The scholarship is named for the late Joseph Robert Lasser, a generous individual who cared deeply about access to higher education.


McGeorge Fund 

The McGeorge Fund provides immediate support for emergent needs, including student support, program development and enrichment, and classroom improvements. The Dean may direct resources where they're needed most, ensuring student success.


McGeorge Virtual Food Pantry

The Virtual Food Pantry provides grocery store gift cards to McGeorge students experiencing food insecurity. The pantry ensures that students have their basic needs met so they can focus on their education.
