Ms. JD’s Public Interest Scholarship Competition

Ms. JD is offering a $500 scholarship to go towards their summer living expenses for those pursuing careers in public interest law. Women law students entering their second or third year at an accredited U.S. law school and working the summer of 2015 at least 35 hours per week for a minimum of 6 weeks at a government agency or nonprofit organization are eligible to apply. Unpaid judicial externs also qualify for these scholarships. Students need not have a placement at the time of their application, but must send an offer letter to Ms. JD by the beginning of the summer.

Applicants are asked to post their essays directly to the Ms. JD blog. Applications are due no later than Friday, April 17, 2015.
