Summer Public Interest Fellowship Program

UHLC has a long history of subsidizing student summer work for local non-profit employers. This highly competitive program was greatly expanded in 1999 with a generous grant from the Houston Endowment. With their support UHLC was able to quadruple the number of annual fellowships and add government employers as a placement option. In 2013, the Law Center was able to finance 32 fellowships.

The fellowship requires the students work full time for a public interest or government agency for a minimum of five and a maximum of ten weeks. Students are responsible for choosing the agency, arranging their placement, and submitting all required applications and forms by an early spring deadline. The Public Interest Law Program assembles a board comprised of public interest attorneys and faculty to review and select the most qualified fellowship candidates.

- Deadline for Summer 2014 Fellowships is March 19, 2014 -
