Giving
At California Western, your gift has the power to make a lasting difference. Donations directly advance our mission by supporting student scholarships, academic excellence, and innovative legal education.
Empower the Next Generation of Law Students
At California Western School of Law, three pillars of support empower our students to thrive: Scholarships, Annual Giving, and the Bar Study Fund.
Scholarships pave the way for promising students, opening doors regardless of background. Our merit- and need-based scholarship programs provide up to 100% tuition coverage, creating a diverse learning environment and an engaged alumni community.
Annual Giving fuels teaching innovation, research, career development, and public interest initiatives. Every contribution—no matter the size—directly underwrites programs and helps build a culture of advancement.
Bar Study Fund removes financial barriers at a critical moment, assisting with personal tutoring, childcare, travel, and accommodation for bar exams, as well as supporting time off work for intensive study. Your gift here ensures our graduates reach their full professional potential.
Experiential Learning and Advocacy
California Western’s commitment to experiential learning sets graduates apart.
Experiential learning initiatives such as the Competitive Advocacy Program challenge students to excel through moot court, trial team, and negotiation competitions—fueling skills employers seek in future attorneys.
Our Clinics
Our vibrant clinical programs immerse students in real-world legal practice, from the Community Law Project to centers focused on advocacy, entrepreneurship, and social justice. Give to one of our clinics, help build future advocates, and see your impact from day one.
Major Giving and Endowments
Leadership-level support creates a legacy through major gifts, endowments, and estate plans. Discover how your major gift or estate plan can support lasting change and join a distinguished community of philanthropists.
Planned gifts—through wills, living trusts, real estate, or insurance—ensure the continued excellence and accessibility of a CWSL education, and membership in our Legacy Society recognizes these visionary supporters.
Endowed scholarships and professorships cement lasting relationships with board leaders and alumni, empowering diverse generations to excel in law.
Contributing through estate plans builds a tradition of stewardship, and endowment gifts invest in CWSL’s future—supporting students, research, and the growth of justice-oriented leadership for decades to come.
