Eck Fellowship Challenge: We Did It!
Thank you to the 548 alumni, parents and friends who helped to make The Eck Fellowship Challenge a success! With their support, the Notre Dame Law School has raised $5.04-million for law fellowships—monies that will be matched with a $5-million contribution from the estate of the late Frank Eck Sr. (’44). The matching gift challenge, which began on April 1, 2008, and concluded at the stroke of midnight on December 31, 2009, has helped the law school to rapidly close in on the $17-million Spirit of Notre Dame campaign goal for law fellowships. All told, just over $14-million in new law fellowship funds has been raised since the campaign commenced on July 1, 2004.
