UCHICAGO NEWS — David M. Rubenstein, ’73, has renewed his commitment to the University of Chicago Law School’s David M. Rubenstein Scholars Program with a $15 million gift that will provide full-tuition scholarships for nearly 60 outstanding students in the Classes of 2026, 2027 and 2028. “In little more than a decade, the Rubenstein Scholars Program has become the most desired scholarship in the legal academy,” said Thomas J. Miles, dean of the Law School and the Clifton R. Musser Professor of Law and Economics. “The program has attracted brilliant students to the University of Chicago Law School, and they have launched outstanding and varied careers. It is thrilling to see the program continue. We are deeply grateful to David for his incomparable leadership and support.” The new gift brings Rubenstein’s support for the program to a total of $61 million since its inception in 2010. The Rubenstein Scholars Program provides three-year scholarships for about 10 percent of the Law School’s JD class. It was established with an initial gift of $10 million from Rubenstein, a University trustee and the co-founder and co-chairman of The Carlyle Group, a global investment firm. Rubenstein renewed his commitment in 2013 with a $10 million gift and in 2016 and 2019 with $13 million gifts.
