"Through their generosity, Order of St. Thomas More members reduce
financial barriers for underrepresented students and help support the
formation of ethical and compassionate lawyers who serve disenfranchised communities, defend the rights of every person, and pursue social justice. As a first-generation student and recipient of this generosity, I’m grateful for the opportunity afforded to me by Order of St. Thomas More members to receive a purpose-directed legal education in the Catholic tradition.”
- Justin Ewing, Notre Dame Law School Student
"Notre Dame Law School is an unequivocally unique place—where future attorneys can receive the absolute best legal training in an environment that also enriches their souls, cultivates meaningful debate, and instills an understanding of the deeper responsibility that comes with this vocation. Those who come from disenfranchised and first generation backgrounds have a great deal to contribute to our community, and financial hardship should not be a determining factor in their ability to study here—contributing to our growingly diverse future.”
- Phenia Hovsepyan, Notre Dame Law School Student
