Support TRU Faculty of Law students

The success of future lawyers from our program is made possible, in part, through the generosity of donors who invest in their potential. Awards and scholarships provide critical financial support that not only reduces the cost of legal education but recognizes student achievement.

By easing financial pressures, donor contributions enable students to focus on learning, leadership and professional development. Be the reason why a TRU law student succeeds and gets closer to their career goals.

Dollars for Scholars Fund

The Dollars for Scholars Fund is a long-term legacy initiative designed to build a strong endowment that will support future generations of TRU Law students. As the fund grows, it will provide both entrance and continuing scholarships, helping to reduce financial barriers and expand access to legal education. Donors who contribute to this fund become part of a lasting legacy that invests directly in the success of future students. Over time, a substantial endowment will enable TRU Law to provide greater financial support to students and help lessen the overall cost of a legal education.

“To be acknowledged for the adversity I've faced and worked through was incredibly touching... School is hard. And when you're balancing school with family responsibilities, work, health concerns, or other challenges, having someone recognize your efforts can make a tremendous difference.”
