Shapiro Public Interest Fellowships

Application deadline: April 30, 2019

Professor Jonathan Turley is accepting applications for Shapiro Public Interest Fellows for the summer and the 2019 – 2020 school year. The grants can range from $2,500 to $25,000 per term. Larger grants are possible if warranted in extraordinary cases. Students may apply for a grant for research or advocacy or support in areas of public interest law. This can include legislative, litigation, or community education projects. It may also include unpaid work associated with public interest organizations, though preference is given to work for specific projects rather than staff positions with such organizations. Work for prosecution, public defender, or law firm offices, or state or federal agencies will not be accepted. There is also a position available as coordinator for the Project for Older Prisoners (POPS).

The grants can be for a term or multiple terms, depending on the project.

Students should send a cover letter explaining their proposed work, their resumes, and most recent transcripts to Professor Jonathan Turley (jturley@law.gwu.edu) and his assistant Seth Tate (state@law.gwu.edu). Applications are due April 30.
