The Richard Freer Endowed Scholarship was initiated by Emory Law alumni to honor Dean Richard D. Freer’s enduring commitment to student flourishing. For over four decades, Dean Freer has exemplified academic leadership and pedagogical excellence, shaping generations of lawyers prepared to thrive in any professional milieu.

The Impact of Your Gift

Your contribution to this scholarship directly supports the development of principled, sophisticated legal professionals. It sustains the resources and support systems that empower students to flourish; intellectually, personally, and professionally. From experiential learning to wellness initiatives, your gift ensures that Emory Law remains a place where students are equipped not only to succeed, but to lead.

This campaign is a tribute to Dean Freer’s legacy and a strategic investment in the future of legal education. Every dollar raised will be used to advance the law school’s mission and uphold the twin pillars of academic eminence and student flourishing.

Beyond Our Goal

While our primary objective is to fully endow the Richard Freer Scholarship, the potential impact of this campaign extends well beyond that threshold. Additional funds will allow us to broaden the scholarship’s reach and deepen its effect, supporting more students and enhancing the infrastructure that fosters their success.

This is a one-time campaign, and we invite alumni, faculty, and friends of Emory Law to participate at any level. All gifts are tax-deductible and will directly benefit students during the 2025–2026 academic year and beyond.
