Dean Jerry Wiley served as chief administrative officer of the USC Gould Law School for nearly thirty years. In late 1997, the Institute's Board of Governors established the Institute for Corporate Counsel/Dean Jerry Wiley Scholarship by providing an endowment to fund student scholarships. Two scholarships are awarded each academic year to qualified students from USC Gould who have demonstrated an interest in business law and with high scholastic achievement in business law courses. In 2015, the ICC's Board furthered their commitment to scholarships by donating an additional $25,000 to the Fund so more worthy students such as these can benefit in future years.
