The Justice John Paul Stevens Public Interest Fellowship Program provides grants to enable law students at participating law schools to work in unpaid public interest summer law positions. The Foundation partners with 38 law schools to operate and fund the program. Law schools locally administer the selection process. 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. The application deadline and selection process take place in the spring at most participating law schools.
