UC Irvine School of Law announced Monday that it will provide scholarships for its entire second class of students arriving August 2010. This incentive is intended to ensure the highest caliber of students for its second graduating class. Funded by private donations, the scholarships will provide all new students with at least 50 percent of their annual tuition each of their three years at the school.
The UCI School of Law pledge of funding for the second class follows last year's grant of privately funded full-tuition scholarships for the inaugural class, due to graduate in 2012.
The class of 60 students, which arrived in August 2009, had median grades and LSAT scores comparable to the top 20 law schools. Only 4 percent of its applicants were accepted – the lowest acceptance rate in the country.
"Privately funded scholarships for our second class of students, the class of 2013, will help us maintain the high quality of our student body and keep us clearly in the realm of a top 20 law school in our second year of operation," says Dean Erwin Chemerinsky. "We are seeking and receiving generous support from the entire Southern California legal community for these scholarships."
