Fellowships - The John Paul Stevens Foundation Skip to primary navigation info@jpstevensfoundation. org Justice John Paul Stevens Public Interest Fellowship Program The Justice John Paul Stevens Public Interest Fellowship Program provides financial support, professional development, and networking opportunities to enable law students at participating law schools to work in otherwise unpaid public interest summer law positions.

The Foundation partners with 38 law schools to operate and fund the program. * Participating law schools locally administer the selection process: The Foundation does not administer applications from students directly. All questions regarding the application process should be directed to the participating law school.

To be eligible for the Fellowship, applicants must be currently enrolled students at a participating law school. Each applicant must arrange a full-time unpaid summer public interest law internship with a governmental agency or a nonprofit organization.

In general, law schools require a written application and select Stevens Fellows based on a strong interest in public interest and social justice law, academic achievement, and financial need. The application deadline and selection process take place in the spring at most participating law schools. The Fellowships at Campbell University Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law are generously supported by Deanne Maynard and Charlie Rawls.

The Fellowships at Georgetown University Law Center are generously sponsored by the law firm Arnold & Porter. The Fellowships at Howard University School of Law are generously supported by the Morrison & Foerster Foundation.
