Become a STAR supporter for Northwestern Pritzker School of Law by helping fund emergency grants for students.
The Student Assistance and Relief (STAR) Fund provides emergency financial assistance grants to students. Many of our students have generous scholarship packages, but these do not cover housing, family, and health emergencies that can disrupt students’ lives and prevent them from finishing their degrees. The STAR Fund bridges the gap for students without a personal financial safety net and ensures all our students have the opportunity to succeed.
As part of this year’s #CatsGiveBack Giving Tuesday campaign, we’re promoting a day-long effort to raise $10,000, or four additional grants, for the STAR Fund.
Since the launch of the STAR fund in 2018, we've provided 343 students with more than $700,000 in emergency support. This year, more students will face emergencies and turn to the Law School Community for help. Your donations will provide the support they need to continue their education. Our ability to help them maintain focus on their education and our high standard of educational excellence is only possible because of alumni donors like you.
“I am very grateful to you, the STAR Fund donors, and Northwestern for always taking care of us students. This will be a tremendous help.” – STAR fund Emergency Grant Recipient
This Giving Tuesday, please join us in meeting the needs of our NLaw students.
