We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to our Spring 2025 fundraising campaign. Thanks to your generosity, we not only reached our stretch goal but surpassed it, raising an impressive $41,766. This total includes a generous $5,000 matching gift from Miguel Custodio ’05.

Your support will make a direct and lasting impact on next year’s Law Fellows cohort. It will help us continue building pathways for those aspiring to gain a legal education and increase access to the legal profession for first-generation and underrepresented scholars. As a fully donor-funded program, annual support from community members like you makes it possible to ensure the sustainability of this vital program. Thank you!

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve officially reached our goal of raising $30,000 to support the UCLA Law Fellows Program. As a completely donor-funded program, your support sustains our ability to empower exceptional first-generation students and students from underrepresented backgrounds. Thank you for helping us make a lasting impact.

Now, let’s go even further.

With momentum and community on our side, UCLA Law and Law Fellows Program alumnus Miguel Custodio ’05 has generously committed to a $5,000 matching gift — matching every additional dollar raised up to $5,000. That means any additional gifts can go twice as far in supporting future Law Fellows.

To help us get there, you can help by sharing the campaign with your friends, family, and networks. https://crowdfunding.ucla.edu/uclalawfellows

Together, we can achieve our goal!

On behalf of the over 100 current UCLA Law Fellows and future participants of the program, thank you for supporting the dreams and aspirations of students looking to pursue law school and become lawyers.

Thanks to you, we've raised $18,395. This means we're over halfway towards our goal of raising $30,000 for the program.

Your support has been incredible, but our journey isn't over yet. Please share this campaign with your friends and family to help us spread the word and bring more awareness to our program. Together, we can make an even greater difference!
