School of Law Student Success

School of Law Student Success

The Dean’s Excellence Fund at Texas Tech University School of Law is a vital resource that enables the Law School to quickly respond to the immediate needs of our students, empowering them to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities successfully.

Funding this project ensures law school students have access to three distinct areas of support created by the Dean’s Excellence Fund.

Emergency Funding

• When a student is unable to meet immediate, essential expenses because of an unanticipated, temporary hardship, the Dean’s Excellence Fund provides crucial financial assistance—ensuring students can remain focused on their education.

Food Pantry

• When a student faces food insecurity, the Dean’s Excellence Fund ensures that students never have to choose between textbooks and having enough to eat.

Other Miscellaneous Financial Barriers

• When an admitted student needs help getting to Lubbock to visit, when a current student can’t afford to travel for a judicial clerkship interview, or when a graduating student requires professional clothing to “Look like a Lawyer”, the Dean’s Excellence Fund is utilized to help alleviate financial barriers.

Your support of the Dean’s Excellence Fund ensures students are able to maximize their learning potential, effectively manage law school stresses, and foster meaningful connections with our community.
