To unite as graduates in a shared calling for our law school, to protect its legacy and provide for its future, to honor through action and gift the education we received and through an unprecedented joining together of UNMSOL alumni – 5,000 strong – to establish an endowment for those who follow in our footsteps.

The UNM School of Law Alumni/ae Association has committed to raise funds to endow (make permanent) the funding for the three full-tuition scholarships it provides to law students at our alma mater. 

Currently the Alumni/ae Association provides funding for the scholarships from the proceeds from our annual Distinguished Achievement Awards Dinner (don’t miss this year’s on Friday, October 25) and our Summer Golf Classic. 

We believe that this is the most important initiative the Alumni/ae Association has undertaken in its history, and we need every alumnus and alumna to unite to make this initiative a success.

This is our chance to come together, 5,000 strong, to a have a real impact on the future of our Law School and future generations who will follow in our footsteps.

Together We Can Make a Difference

Current Scholarship Recipient

At times this year, I've doubted myself. During the toughest times, the Alumni Scholarship reminds me that a community is invested in my future. During the easier times, the scholarship pushes me to fully appreciate the many opportunities UNMSOL has to offer. Most of all, I’m grateful. I’m grateful every day in class, I’ll be grateful the day I pass the bar, and I will be grateful every day I practice. At every stage of my life I will find ways to contribute to this community that made it possible.

Former Scholarship Recipient

“This scholarship was extremely important to me, allowing me to concentrate on education rather than working, as a networking tool, and as a way to work in my desired field of public service. The scholarship afforded me so many important opportunities, and I am thrilled to be able to give back to New Mexico and UNM SOL as a UNM SOL alumna.”
