With funding from The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and Arnold Ventures, this is our second annual Diversity Fellowship to The University of Texas School of Law’s Nonprofit Organizations Institute. The application is open—with a deadline of October 15.
This fellowship program was created to encourage diversity and participation in the tax-exempt organizations practice of law by introducing 1st, 2nd and 3rd year law students to the practice area, providing opportunities for mentorship, and creating a network of law students interested in pursuing the practice. Many students do not even realize that this is a specific area of practice to pursue.
A single-year fellowship will be awarded to up to ten recipients that allows for in-person attendance to The University of Texas School of Law’s 40th Annual Nonprofit Organizations Institute on January 18-20, 2023 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, TX. The Institute is a continuing legal and professional education conference that brings together nationally recognized experts from private foundations, public charities, law, finance, and government to discuss the latest tax, legislative and governance issues affecting nonprofit organizations. (For reference, see our PRIOR year’s conference brochure, including full agenda and conference faculty.)
Again, because of the timing of the January conference, the application window is tight – applications are due by October 15th. We are casting a national net, because we want as many interested students to apply as possible.
