Financial Support for Current Students

Many members of the Northwestern Pritzker Law community are looking for ways to support our students in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Student Assistance and Relief (STAR) Fund provides emergency grants to students experiencing unforeseen financial emergencies. Your support can make the difference in allowing a student to stay focused on their legal education during this unprecedented time.
