City University of New York School of Law Foundation

The cost of a Law School education is a matter of great concern for those attending cuny Law. The majority of those admitted are in need of financial support with a student body that is low-income, first-generation, non-traditional, and more than 50% people of color. While tuition and fees position cuny Law as one of The most affordable professional education programs in The nation, it has had limited funds and needs to increase funding available to award scholarships, public interest summer grants, and grants to support students when they are studying for The bar exam.

With a faculty of social justice practitioners and a 3rd ranked clinical program in The nation (us news & world report), grants are invested to advance: community and economic justice, human rights and gender justice, and immigration and non-citizen rights. Since 2009, creating Law enforcement accountability & responsibility (clear) has offered free legal representation and consultation, know-your-rights workshops, and support for community organizing focused on muslim, arab, south asian, and other communities in New York City.
