The S.J. Quinney College of Law is thrilled to announce the launch of an unprecedented scholarship campaign to celebrate our highest rankings ever and help us welcome in more of the best students regardless of their financial status. Our ultimate goal: Raise $7 million in scholarship support in the next five years. Our immediate goal: Raise $500,000 by December 31, 2023. This aim is well within reach thanks to the help of a generous $3.5 million match from University of Utah President Taylor Randall and a triple matching incentive of $60,000 from Utah Law’s dedicated Board of Trustees.

Right now, every dollar you donate up to $60,000 will be doubled by the President’s Match and tripled by the Trustees’ Triple Match, turning the first $60,000 we raise into $180,000 for scholarships.

“I am very proud of the S.J. Quinney College of Law, the state’s only public law school, for receiving its highest national ranking ever,” says University of Utah President Taylor Randall. “My office is committing $3.5 million to celebrate the college’s success and to encourage our alums and donors to support Utah Law’s Scholarship Matching Campaign and our incredible students. I look forward to seeing the impact this campaign has on current and future students and the communities they serve.”

Providing substantial scholarships immediately impacts the lives of our law students, but those benefits also extend to the community and the field of law. As Dean of the S.J. Quinney College of Law, Elizabeth Kronk Warner began her tenure in 2019 with the goal of creating a community where those who have the capacity to be successful in the legal profession have the opportunity to do so.

“Scholarships enable us to attract and retain excellent students regardless of their financial situation, so raising funds for scholarship support has been central to my vision,” says Dean Kronk Warner. “Competitive funding ensures we have a pool of robust, diverse and dynamic legal experts entering the profession and our communities. It also allows our students to make career decisions that afford them the greatest satisfaction and fulfill their desires to contribute to their communities.”

The S.J. Quinney College of Law invites all alumni and supporters of the college to make a gift to support the Utah Law Scholarship Match Campaign here or via check, phone, a gift of securities, and more giving options available here. Join us for this incredible opportunity to raise $7 million in scholarships, with every penny of your gift going directly to our students.
