Nationwide Fellowships
A postgraduate fellowship provides a way to gain valuable legal experience while offering support in an area that is typically under-funded and understaffed. Fellowships are typically one to two year positions following graduation with salaries ranging from $12,000 to $40,000. Application deadlines typically range from September through April. Some agencies accept applicants continuously throughout the year.
Information and application materials for fellowships for law graduates can be found in the three "Fellowships" (purple tag) binders located in the Career Services Office or through the fellowship sponsors' websites. Additional information can be found in Yale Law School's Fellowship and Grant Resources and Fellowship Application Tips found at www.pslawnet.org.
