About half the entering class of the University of Florida’s Levin College of Law is receiving scholarship money this year, after an alumnus’ $1.5 million fundraising challenge turned into a $4.5 million windfall for scholarships.
UF alumnus Hugh Culverhouse Jr., son of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Hugh Culverhouse, last spring pledged $1.5 million for incoming student scholarships if the law school’s community raised an additional $1.5 million by Aug. 14, the first day of classes. In June, UF Provost Joe Glover promised an additional $1.5 million contribution if UF alums met the original goal. UF Law Dean Laura Ann Rosenbury said 1,437 donors contributed another $1.5 million by the start of school last week.
