Support Our School
We are grateful for all of the support offered to us by our alumni community. Your support is immensely valuable to our school and students.
Pro bono and community projects
We have a proud tradition of working within the local community. Our students receive recognition for their work at the:
- Northern Law Awards
- Pride of Newcastle Awards (Street Law)
Our students are a dedicated group. They put in the time and work to ensure our projects have continued to run since 2011.
Our pro bono projects enable students to practice skills developed in the classroom.
You can support our pro bono schemes in many ways:
- running CPD events
- being part of the Newcastle Law School Pro Bono Steering Group membership
- introducing us to new partners, groups and schools to deliver our projects
- encouraging us to set up new projects within the School
- providing expert knowledge on key areas of law which are the focus the sessions we deliver
- alerting us to the community funds available in your organisation
- donations for developing online materials, such as the Homeless Reduction Act video and leaflets
- to support the setting up and piloting of new initiatives such as the Freedom Law Clinic. £500 will help to support 12 students to take part in a 6-week programme.
Our students have some opportunities to work with North East schools. We have delivered activities such as:
- careers speed-dating
- a mock trial project
- bail application exercise
Our students help pupils to analyse witness statements and draft bail applications. They advise them on what it is like to study law at university.
Get involved by offering sponsorship or 'in kind' support with activities and materials
The generosity of our alumni allow us to offer scholarships to students in Stages 1 and 2 of study. They recognise the need to reinvest and support successive students at Newcastle.
We offer up to 10 awards of £500 at the beginning of semester 2. These non-repayable grants support students through their studies.
We offer two awards of £1,500 to students at the beginning of year 2. They're awarded on academic merit. They recognise where a student is overcoming adversity to pursue a LLB degree here.
Studying abroad can offer a host of benefits. Students can develop a broader cultural awareness and independence.
Our European Study Stream and International Study Streamare crucial. They help students gain key gain skills and resilience. Employers in an globalised world value this.
Continuing these educational exchange opportunities is more important than ever. We are looking to raise funds for Law Alumni Travel Scholarships. They're aimed at both encouraging and enabling our students to live and study abroad for a year.
We are hoping to raise funds to support:
- 3 x Law Alumni European Travel Scholarship (each worth £1,000)
- 2 x Law Alumni International Travel Scholarships (each worth £1,500)
You'll be investing in the future of fellow Law School graduates.
