Class of 2019 3L Class

The 2019 3L Law Class Gift Campaign provides an opportunity for all graduating Carolina Law School students to commemorate their achievements by making a donation to the Law School before graduation.

By participating in the Class Gift Campaign, the Class of 2019 joins the ranks of dedicated Carolina Law School alumni who maintain lifelong, faithful connections to the school through their philanthropy.

Why Give? Contributions aid in the creation of many new opportunities for future law students, including increased scholarships, research centers, curricular innovations, new clinics, like that of the newest Veteran's Clinic, and much more. All donors will be recognized on the University of South Carolina Law School 2019 Annual Donor Honor Roll and will receive a donor gift.

Participation Is Key: Give What You Can, but be thoughtful. The program’s success is measured by student participation rates. Last year, 23% of the Class of 2018 participated in their Class Gift – there is plenty of room to exceed. Our goal is 65%, or 135 donors.

Your gift of $42 will allow our class to leave an outstanding legacy and set the bar for future classes' giving.

• The break down:
  • ​135 donors giving $42 = 5,670
  • If the entire class were to give $42 = $8,736

CHALLENGE GIFT:  An anonymous donor has challenged our class to reach our goal and we will have a $10,000 donation made in our name to add to our total.

• Challenge requirements:
  • Challenge 1:  ​Reach 20% participation, or approximately 42 donors, receive $3,000
  • Challenge 2:  Reach $1,500 in gifts, receive $2,000
  • Challenge 3:  Reach our goal of 65% we will receive 5,000

Direct Your Gift: The Class Gift Campaign allows you to direct your giving to areas in the Annual Fund including Law Carolina Fund (Dean’s Discretionary Fund) and/or the Student Scholarship Support Fund.

About the funds:

• Law Carolina Fund: This fund is the Dean's discretionary fund. Predominately funds are used for scholarships; however, they also allow the Dean to expand  opportunities throughout the School of Law.
• Student Scholarship Support Fund: This fund provides qualified students scholarships.
• You may give in memory or honor of someone and the Alumni/Development Office will notify the recipient.
