Endowed Scholarships

Baylor Law School’s ability to attract talented students largely depends on the availability of scholarship funding. A gift of any size towards the various endowed scholarship funds helps underwrite tuition costs for generations of worthy students. When personal debt is decreased, the potential for public advocacy and service exponentially rises.
