The '82 Scholars Fund is a unique and unprecedented opportunity for members of the University of Illinois College of Law Class of 1982 to join together to create a unique scholarship fund. The '82 Scholars Fund began with three of our classmates pledging to donate $ 35,000 each over three years. They reached out to a handful of additional classmates and three of them each pledged $ 35,000 and a few other classmates pledged much-appreciated lesser amounts.
The University Provost has agreed to match any gift — individual or group — in excess of $ 150,000 for student scholarships and raised over a three-year period. The goal is to ask Class of 1982 graduates to make a three-year pledge toward the $ 500,000 goal. With the Provost's match, the overall goal of $ 1,000,000 in the '82 Scholars Fund will allow the College to provide two full-tuition or a combination of full and partial tuition scholarships to future students. This scholarship fund will provide an exceptional opportunity for Illinois to recruit head-to-head with the nation's premier law schools for the best and brightest students.
