Michael and Rebecca Berch Scholarship

Learn more about your impact

Michael and Rebecca Berch established their scholarship in 1992 with the goal of supporting several deserving ASU Law students every year. Since then, they have supported over 80 law students! So dedicated were the Berches to helping ASU law students flourish that the Student Success Center at the law school is named in honor of Michael and Rebecca Berch – a lasting testament to their commitment and support.

Michael Berch challenged us in the classroom and pushed us to think; outside the classroom, he loved to laugh and play jokes and was always very generous."

Impact of Donor Support

  • More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
  • More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
  • Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
  • The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.

Our family believes in giving back and sharing the blessings we have received financially and through our time."
