In October 2024, Washington and Lee University launched its $650 million comprehensive capital campaign, Leading Lives of Consequence: The Campaign for Washington and Lee, the most ambitious fundraising effort in W&L's 275-year history.
The Leading Lives of Consequence campaign will underwrite initiatives outlined in the university's Strategic Plan that enable Washington and Lee to offer a truly exceptional education. It will provide the resources to attract and support top-quality students and faculty, invest in its innovative legal curriculum, and provide first-rate facilities that support its mission.
In the competitive landscape of legal education, scholarships are essential for attracting top-tier students. Washington and Lee School of Law is dedicated to providing a unique education that fosters broad-minded, highly skilled and honorable legal professionals. Additional scholarship funding will help more academically and personally promising students access a W&L Law education without overwhelming debt.

"Because I benefited from the generosity of people who went before me, I was pretty passionate from day one about making sure that I would be giving to help other students like me in future years." - Lizanne Thomas ‘82L

Supporting W&L Law
Directed Giving
A key strength of W&L Law is our close-knit community that fosters personal and professional growth in a humane academic environment. Our small size allows us to transcend a "one-size-fits-all" student experience. To better reflect this range of experience and promote choice in financial support from law alumni, parents, and friends, the Law Annual Fund now enables directed giving to five key areas.
The Law Annual Fund
When you give to the Law Annual Fund, you help us keep our class sizes small and student debt low. You help us recruit top students and faculty and support scholarship and extracurricular travel. You help us maintain a rigorous legal education in a community of trust.
