- Current Endowments and Bequests [71KB PDF]
Endowments provide perpetual income for the law school through investment of principal funds. These gifts may be unrestricted, providing for the greatest needs of the college, or restricted to a particular use. Endowments are established with a minimum of $20,000 through outright gifts, pledges paid over a period of years, deferred gifts, such as trusts or insurance expectancies, and through estate plans. Following are several types of endowments that have been established by alumni, friends and law firms to support quality legal education now and into the future.
