New York University School of Law and three other institutions are in line to snag 25 lucrative 10-week public interest fellowships next summer. The Ford Foundation on Sept. 13 announced plans to place as many as 100 students from NYU, Harvard Law School, Stanford Law School and Yale Law School in public interest summer jobs in 2013.
Such fellowships typically pay stipends just large enough to cover basic costs. By contrast, the Ford fellows will receive $15,000 for summer work at an array of 80 high-profile public interest organizations, including the Brookings Institution, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, the National Consumer Law Center, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, LatinoJustice PRLEG and Lambda Legal. The foundation has committed $1.75 million for the inaugural year.
