Overview
International Public Interest Law Fellowships will assist with the costs of summer internships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) located around the world. Applicants can apply to up to five NGOs from a list of pre-approved partner organizations. Unlike the Wayne domestic PILF grants, applicants may not find partner organizations on their own. Interns will perform legal work under the supervision of an attorney on staff at the partner NGOs. The internships are intended to last approximately two months, roughly from June 1 to August 1. However, particular start and end dates may vary and will be negotiated with each individual organization.
Successful applicants will be placed with one of the partner NGOs based on (i) their listed preferences, (ii) fulfilling specific requirements of a particular group (i.e. language skills), (iii) preferences of the NGOs, and (iv) our assessment of an applicant’s qualifications. Because all of these factors must be considered, successful applicants must accept the placements they are given.
Qualifications
Applicants must:
-Be an enrolled student of Wayne State University Law School
-Be able to leave and re-enter the United States legally
-Be qualified to receive an International PILF as financial aid. Have a FAFSA on file for 2010-2011.
-Have a demonstrated interest in international affairs
Application Materials
To apply for the International Public Interest Scholarship, applicants must submit all of the following:
-A current résumé
-A cover letter that describes your interest in the internship program and any relevant personal
background, including experience overseas, knowledge of foreign languages/cultures and interest in international or comparative law
-An official or unofficial transcript
-A completed application form
Four hard copies of these materials must be submitted by Tuesday, January 14, 2011 at 3 PM to:
Ms. Holly Hughes
Dean’s Suite, 3rd floor
Late applications or applications submitted solely by email will not be considered. Applicants selected will be notified by both mail and email in late January.
Funding
Scholarship funding is intended to assist with the costs associated with study abroad. Each intern will receive $5,000.00 to cover travel, living and other expenses during the internship. However, the cost of any given Fellowship may exceed this amount. Fellows are responsible for any expenses incurred during their fellowships that exceed the scholarship amount.
