PUBLIC INTEREST FELLOWSHIP
Thanks to its generous sponsors, SABA Greater Boston proudly offers 1-2 Public Interest Fellowships as part of its 2025 Public Interest Fellowship Program.
This fellowship is intended to provide funding in an amount up to $5,000 for either law students of South Asian descent working over the summer in otherwise unpaid legal positions at non-profit or government organizations or law students working in an unpaid legal internship focusing on the needs of BIPOC/LGBTQ communities.
SABA Greater Boston encourages law students who have secured a volunteer internship as discussed above with a nonprofit or government organization within the Greater Boston area to apply to the program. Applicants must be enrolled for the 2025 -2026 academic year (but not be graduating in May or June 2025) and in good standing in a U.S. law school. Volunteer internships must be full-time for at least ten weeks. The internship must provide the law student with substantial legal experience.
