Law School funding of student events and travel is centralized in the JD Grants Committee, which was created by the Dean in 2014 to ensure a fair, consistent, and transparent process for distributing law school funds. Students and student organizations must direct their funding requests to the committee, not to Law School programs, departments, faculty, or administrators.
Please review the instructions, forms, and deadlines on this webpage before applying for funding.
The JD Grants website for 2026-2027 will be updated June 15th, 2026. Questions? Contact jdgrants@law.wisc.edu.
