With a $3 million gift—calling it the “largest outright donation” in its history—the University of Georgia School of Law plans to build a scholarship and mentoring program to assist all new law students who are first-generation college graduates.

The law school announced Tuesday the creation of the First-Start Scholars Program, funded by a lead gift from 1982 alumna Kathelen Amos and the Daniel P. Amos Family Foundation. Dan Amos is chairman and chief executive officer of Aflac Inc. The company was founded in 1955 in downtown Columbus as American Family Life Insurance Co. of Columbus by John Amos and his brothers, Paul and Bill Amos.
