Scholarship Funds

General Scholarship Fund
The general scholarship fund responds to the critical need to reduce the student debt load, as well as helps Villanova Law to compete for and ensure that the best and brightest students come to Villanova, regardless of economic obstacles.

Class Scholarship Funds

The Class Scholarship Program was initiated in the fall of 1997, with the Class of 1967 taking the lead on this effort. These endowed scholarships respond to our critical need to reduce student debt load and help Villanova Law School compete for top students. The goal of each fund is to raise a minimum of $125,000 over a period of time. The following classes have established Class Scholarships: 1959, 1962, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1975 and 1984. Please contact the Development Office by phone, 610-519-7035, or email, development@law.villanova.edu, if you are interested in establishing a scholarship fund for your class.
