The Ms. JD Public Interest Scholarship program provides a stipend to 2L and 3L students as they pursue careers in public interest law. Ms. JD is thrilled to continue our support of women pursuing public interest careers and soften the burden faced by those who accept public interest internships, which are often unpaid.
The definition of public interest law is broad and includes both domestic and international work; direct service, impact litigation, and policy work; and government and non-profit work. Former public interest scholarship award recipients have pursued internships in immigration law, women’s rights, public health, public defense, government at all levels, and criminal justice reform.
Applications are due by 11:59 pm EST on Sunday, June 25, 2023. Selected students will be notified by June 30, 2023.
