• Scholarships and Support:  The School of Law has raised over $100 million in gifts and pledges to establish professorships, chairs, and provide financial aid for students.

Preparation for a career and support after law school

• Number one for externship: The School of Law was ranked #1 in the country by National Jurist for having the most externship placements per full-time student in 2010 and 2011.  The School of Law’s Mentor Externship program matches every current law student with a mentor during all three years of law school.
• Number one in alumni support: We know of no other Law School that can match the percentage of our alumni who give to the annual fund.  We have achieved a top spot in the nation for the percentage of living alumni contributing to annual giving campaigns for eight straight years.  Our graduates believe in our mission.
• Career development support: Compared with students at other law schools, UST Law students report greater satisfaction with the support they receive for career and professional development.
