The School of Law Receives a $55 Million Gift to Endow and Name the School
 Chapman University's law school is the recipient of the second single largest reported gift to any law school in the United States thanks to a $55 million donation from prominent real estate developer Dale E. Fowler and his wife Sarah Ann.
The law school is now officially "Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law." The gift will not only make the school much more competitive with its peer institutions in the long run, but we hope to be able to provide numerous benefits to students right away. The Fowlers will be working with the School of Law to decide how financial help may be used to hire practicing lawyers as adjuncts. The gift will also offset tuition costs by providing more merit-based scholarships so that students can better afford to pay for school. The School of Law will also be discussing plans for more one-on-one career counseling and individualized job hunting strategies for our graduates. Learn more »
