Penn Law Gets $10M to Aid Grads' Public Interest Careers

A Penn Law School alumnus has donated $10 million to the school to provide financial support to students entering public service careers.

Law School Dean Michael Fitts told the Daily Pennsylvanian that Robert Toll's gift was greatly appreciated. "We desperately need more young lawyers to take on society's challenges," he told the paper. But for too long the path to public service has been impeded by financial obstacles. Fortunately, Bob Toll has removed some of those barriers for years to come, and we are in his debt."

Toll, who graduated from Penn in 1966, is CEO of Toll Brothers Inc., a residential construction company. He designated $5 million of his gift to establish a Toll Public Interests Scholars Program this fall. The program will support funding of full first year scholarships and partial second and third year scholarships for students committed to practicing in the public sector.
