St. Mary’s University School of Law received a $1.8 million gift from an anonymous donor to benefit scholarships for students.

The gift is an estate gift pledge of $800,000 toward an existing endowed scholarship for law students and $1 million to create a new endowed scholarship for female law students.

“This generous gift from one of our law alumni will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our law students as they pursue one of the most rigorous courses of study in higher education,” St. Mary’s University School of Law President Thomas Mengler said. “One gift—like this donation—can have an impact beyond measure. Thank you to our donor for supporting our students as they strive toward their goals.”
