Giving Day 2026: LawCat Community Comes Together to Support Student Scholarships at Arizona Law
“Giving Day is such a meaningful reminder of what our community can do when we come together for our students.”
University of Arizona Law felt the love during Giving Day, a 24-hour fundraising effort in support of the university and its students. This year, over 35 generous donors, which included alumni, faculty, staff, students, family, and friends, donated $60,080 in support of the Huerta Scholarship Program, the Toni M. Massaro Public Interest Student Fellowship Endowment and Student Scholarships.
The University of Arizona received over 1,300 gifts, totaling over $5 million, towards students, scholarships, and programs across campus.
“Giving Day is such a meaningful reminder of what our community can do when we come together for our students,” said Shannon Walker, director of Alumni and Development. “This year, every gift was focused on supporting them—and we are truly grateful to everyone who chose to give. We are especially thankful to Jim Diamond (’14), Marian Salzman, and Vicki and Craig Fleischer for their generous leadership, which helped inspire participation and expand the impact of Giving Day.”
The Huerta Scholarship program, established in 2014 in honor of Judge Lawrence Huerta (’53), provides financial support to Indigenous law students attending the College of Law. The Toni M. Massaro Public Interest Student Fellowship Endowment, provides permanent, endowed support in honor of Dean Emerita Toni Massaro to support students from the Justice Advocates Coalition Fellowship Program who accept unpaid summer positions in public interest organizations. Lastly, the College of Law Student Scholarship Fund, which makes a meaningful difference in the academic journeys, careers and long-term economic well-being of deserving students.
It’s not too late to participate. If you missed Giving Day, consider supporting the college today.
