Former Vanderbilt Law School student and VU Board of Trust member Justin Ishbia has given his alma mater $10 million, the Nashville Post reports. Ishbia is founder and managing partner of Shore Capital Partners, a private equity firm with offices in Chicago and Nashville. He also is a member of the Vanderbilt Law School Board of Advisors, which in 2015 established the Justin R. Ishbia Scholarship to provide financial support for VU law school students. Ishbia earned his law degree from the school in 2004. According to law school dean Chris Guthrie, the gift will support “key strategic priorities" within the law school and "strengthen its position as one of the nation’s premier institutions for legal scholarship.”
