Your investment in Boston College Law School and its mission makes amazing things possible for students and faculty—from supporting innovative programming to funding cutting-edge scholarship and essential support.
This past year, BC Law continued its upward trajectory, from hiring new faculty and reporting record job numbers to establishing its key position in the newly launched Soaring Higher: the Campaign for Boston College.
Your contribution paves the way for the future of BC Law in so many ways. Thank you for your generosity and commitment this year.
FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIPS
While many factors go into selecting a law school, students consistently cite financial aid as the top reason for choosing one school over another.
Donors like you have fueled much-needed growth in
financial aid, more than doubling the number of endowed scholarships in the past two decades and allowing BC Law to provide financial aid to nearly 90 percent of each class. This increased support provides access for highly qualified
students and allows BC Law to live up to its mission of forming the next generation of stellar lawyers serving the greater good. Thank you for making a legal education possible, and for supporting the dreams of the next generation.

Scholarships are not just financial assistance, they are beacons of hope; they are reaffirmations of the dedication, efforts, and sacrifices of students and their families. They provide life to our dreams, to our potential, and importantly, to our careers.”
ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
BC Law’s renowned faculty are more than instructors. They are researchers and clinicians. They have argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, testified before Congress, counseled Fortune 500 companies, and championed human rights around the globe. They consistently publish leading scholarship and provide expert commentary on current legal topics in major media outlets. On campus, they help students develop intellectually, personally, and ethically—sustaining the distinctive BC Law experience across the generations.
Donors like you help BC Law invest in the very best faculty for students, strengthening the Law School’s ethos and its reputation. This year, the Law School hired eight new faculty members, one of the largest and most impressive cohorts in our history.
STUDENT LIFE
BC Law challenges students with intensive academics, but it also offers what today’s students hope their law school experience will be: an inspiring, supportive, and collaborative environment. BC Law faculty, staff, and alumni
all are dedicated to helping students thrive, advocating for them inside and out of the classroom. And BC Law’s vibrant student groups reflect the diverse experiences and perspectives of the student body.

Donor funding allows me to take on bigger projects, acquire resources, and travel to build relationships with other researchers and content experts.”
All of this happens on our beautiful Newton Campus, which serves as a space of community and belonging for our students and a home for study sessions, informal gatherings, and special events.
