Your Generosity Changes Lives
Your gift supports Northeastern Law students who rely on scholarships to attend law school, undertake career-building public interest law co-ops and enroll in experiential learning opportunities through our top-ranked legal clinics or Centers of Excellence. You also provide critical funds for the mission-driven work of faculty, staff and programs focused on social justice.
These are just a few recent examples of what is possible with the help of philanthropic support:
- This fall, we welcomed 225 students to the 1L class. Collectively, they have a median GPA of 3.73 and a median LSAT of 163 — the highest academic profile in our history.
- In the current academic year, we are able to provide 91% of our students with financial aid.
- Our bar passage rate for first-time takers in Massachusetts last July was an impressive 95.7%.
- In summer 2024, 61 students were selected for prestigious summer associate positions in big law firms; more than 50% of those selected for these coveted positions were students of color.
- Salus Populi reduces public health inequalities across the U.S. by educating judges and lawyers about how the law effects the health of people and communities – this first-of-its-kind program has informed 660 members of the judiciary since 2021.
- This fall, we officially launched the Center for Global Law and Justice. We now have five Centers of Excellence that leverage the power of law across global human rights, public health, racial justice, public interest and IP/technology to create positive change.
- The Immigrant Justice Clinic is partnering with Boston Children’s Hospital to support children
and adolescents on asylum applications, temporary protected status, work authorizations and motions to change venue. - Our students continue to excel at obtaining prestigious fellowships. Most recently, two students
in the class of 2024 were awarded Equal Justice Works Fellowships and one student was awarded a Skadden Fellowship.
