Annual Fund
Your participation matters!
A strong Annual Fund is crucial in sustaining the quality of the teaching and learning that occur here. Your participation, regardless of the size of your gift, helps the law school continue in its tradition of standing for excellence and reaching for justice.
- One of the measures of top law schools is the alumni giving participation rate. As our ranking rises, the value of a Seattle University law degree increases.
- Many individuals, organizations and foundations consider a law school's alumni participation rate when awarding grants. A high rate of participation is a vote of confidence that is heard clearly by potential investors.
- Seattle University School of Law is increasingly known nationally and internationally. For our profile to continue to grow, alumni participation must meet or surpass the giving rate at similar educational institutions.
Donors to the Annual Fund for Excellence may choose to support our General Fund or designate their gift to one of the following areas:
Scholarships
Increasing the level of financial support available to our students is a priority. Offering competitive financial aid packages allows us to attract gifted students who are leaders for a just and humane world.
