Scholarships
Endowed and Annual Scholarship Funds
Over the years, generous benefactors to the Sturm College of Law have made gifts to establish named funds that benefit the mission of DU Law.
Endowed funds are held in perpetuity, which means they are invested to sustain DU Law across many generations. In this situation, the University of Denver invests an initial endowed gift and only the income earned is spent for the intended purpose of the fund. Donors may choose to make additional gifts to an endowed fund over its life.
Annual Funds are those where donors choose to provide a recurring gift each year to support the intended use of a fund.
The Sturm College of Law is grateful to those alumni, friends, families, law firms, organizations and foundations that make it possible for DU Law to provide an outstanding legal education for our students.
If you are interested in creating a named or endowed scholarship at the Sturm College of Law, please contact Ricki Kelly, Executive Director of Development at 303.871.6123 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) .
