The 3L Class Gift Program provides an opportunity for members of each graduating class to show their appreciation for the legal education they have received, the experiences they have had and the memories they have created during their time at Hofstra Law. This year, the 2026 3L Class has chosen to support the James J. Sample Commitment to Students Award. Established by the Class of 2015, the scholarship will be awarded next year to a 3L student who has shown dedication to helping their class and a strong commitment to bettering student life at Hofstra Law.
Why should I give?
The 3L Class Gift is your first opportunity, as a soon-to-be Hofstra Law graduate, to participate in a long legacy of alumni support of your alma mater. It’s also a way for 3L students to come together and to leave their mark as a class and continue the tradition of supporting future students at Hofstra Law.
How does it work?
Each donation of $20.26 to Hofstra Law’s Class Gift Fund entitles you to one congratulatory message in a special booklet that will be given out at commencement.
Each thank you can have a maximum of 30 words so that we have enough room for everyone’s messages. Have more to say? You have the option of purchasing multiple entries!
Regardless of how you choose to thank your parents, professors, classmates, or someone who has had a positive impact on your time at Hofstra Law, it is certain to be special.
