THE FUTURE READYING Our Students and Our MissionREADYING THE FUTURE Our Students and Our Mission For 125 years, we’ve been providing an academically exceptional legal education, offering access and opportunity to a highly qualified and diverse population. Join us as we celebrate, and help us to continue this mission, preparing and inspiring the next generation of lawyers. Russell Conwell founded Temple University on a set of principles encapsulated in his “Acres of Diamonds” speech, a commitment to finding talented, promising students right here in the area and providing them with an opportunity. A decade later the Law School was established, and has ever since held those same principles in trust, nurturing a commitment to service and advocacy, and cultivating in students a sense of responsibility to their own ideals, to their clients, and to the highest aspirations of the law itself. We are committed to addressing the emerging issues of a rapidly changing world, grounded in something bigger than any one of us alone. Through student scholarships we extend the promise of an accessible, affordable, and diverse academic experience. With a focus on experiential learning and trial advocacy, an exceptional law and public policy program, and a commitment to service, the Beasley School of Law built a transformative, nationally ranked, best-value, legal education experience. Our deep connections here at home and a network of programs and partnerships that circle the globe empower us to fulfill our mission and prepare our graduates for any coming challenges, to them and to the cause of justice.Scholarships are critical to the Law School’s mission. We provide an excellent legal education at a great value; one that is dynamic and diverse, one that provides opportunities to those who might otherwise, for solely financial reasons, find themselves disqualified. ONLY WITH YOUR SUPPORT Our past is woven into our present, and no matter what challenges arise, our mission remains the same. The challenges our students face today are formidable. The COVID-19 pandemic will, among other things, for years have a profound financial impact on our students. Most industrial sectors are affected, businesses are closing, and many of our students face even greater obstacles to support themselves. Approximately 80% of Temple’s law students classify as having financial need, with 35% demonstrating full financial need. Scholarship support has never been more important. Please join us as we celebrate 125 years of history, traditions, and success with the 125th Anniversary Scholarship Initiative. For many students, law school is a financial decision. Quality of education, location, and future opportunities only matter if the student can afford school. Scholarships position our program as an affordable option, and allow Temple to recruit students for their hustle, drive, intelligence, and backbone. As state funding decreases, philanthropic support is crucial to our efforts to provide a growing number of accomplished, deserving students with sufficient financial aid. Recruiting top talent to Temple Law builds on our alumni base and strengthens a network of Temple lawyers diverse in their expertise, passions, backgrounds, and even their futures. With fewer financial barriers and less debt, graduates have the flexibility to explore all aspects of the law, to identify the areas they are most passionate about, and move on to leadership roles in their profession and their communities.
