March 23, 2021 James Maida speaks with a Rutgers Law student.
An innovative public interest program at Rutgers Law School will continue to serve vulnerable communities in the New Jersey region while providing Rutgers students with exceptional support and learning experiences, thanks to a new $1,275,750 gift to the university from James and Sharon Maida.
Additionally, the Maidas have donated $100,000 to support the James and Sharon Maida Endowed Scholarship at Rutgers Law School.
The new gift will allow Rutgers Law School to extend the Maida Public Interest Fellowships Program for the next five years, building on the founding $1 million gift from the Maidas that established the program in 2015, and an additional bridge gift from the Maidas in 2020.
