Scholarship Impact Report 2022-23
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
Every dollar invested in financial aid generates unmeasurable returns. Scholarships lower barriers to entry for students with demonstrated need. The varied experiences, backgrounds, and passions of each classmate enrich the entire school community. The graduation of a first-generation professional can be a turning point for their families.
Your investment in the recipients’ lives creates lower debt loads and the freedom to explore different practice areas or spend their summer doing public interest legal work in an unpaid position.
Thanks to you, Berkeley Law has been able to increase its spending on financial aid each year, reaching nearly $26 million last year.
“You are funding my dream to help others and I hope to pay it forward by ensuring that I use my education to make people's lives better. Thank you!”
“Knowing it would be financially difficult for me to attend Berkeley Law without any support, I was ecstatic when I learned I would be able to make the finances work. Now at Berkeley, I am taking full advantage of everything this wonderful institution has to offer-from incredible professors and amazing peers, to exciting legal projects.”

“"My scholarship has given me a form of freedom that is priceless in the context of legal education. Without the financial pressure of figuring out a career that is lucrative and satisfying, I have had the freedom to explore my varied interests and assess different careers -- be it in legislative drafting, movement law, workers' rights law, immigration law, and non-profit law.
