PUBLIC SERVICE FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Students and alumni interested in public service careers should consider summer and post-graduate fellowships available through Suffolk and from external funding sources and organizations.

Public service fellowships are available for both summer and post-graduate work, and are often connected to specific practice areas. Generally, post-graduate public interest fellowships award a stipend for a period of one to two years to recent law school graduates working in public interest programs. These prestigious awards offer a unique and valuable entry into public interest law, however applying for a post-graduate fellowship is a highly competitive and time-consuming process. The Rappaport Center is available to work closely with students to support efforts to obtain these fellowships.

Any student committed to public service work should also consider applying for a public service scholarship through the Financial Aid Office.
