USC Gould School of Law

USC Gould School of Law’s exceptional students have been the heart of the school for the entirety of its 125-year history, and USC Gould is committed to investing in their success with scholarships, programming, and a physical space that supports their education.

Scholarship support ensures we attract the best students and equip them with the resources they need to excel. Additive to the merit scholarships nearly all JD students receive, the USC Gould Need-Based Scholarship program grants critical aid to students whose financial needs are not met by their merit scholarships.

We are also increasing opportunities for experiential learning, so that graduates are practice-ready on day one and can make an even greater impact in our community.

An ambitious new building project, including a new, 59,000 square foot building and a transformative renovation to the Musick Law Building, is also among USC Gould’s top priorities. The new and redesigned spaces will allow the law school to better serve its vibrant community and improve the learning experience for all.

The achievements that lie behind us and the successes still to come are not possible without the incredible support of USC Gould’s alumni and friends. We are grateful for those who have given their time, their expertise, their guidance, and their philanthropy to benefit the next generation of law students. Thank you for being a part of USC Gould’s legacy of success.
