Public Interest Experience Grants

Public Interest Experinece Grants provide stipends to Drexel University College of Law students who are taking unpaid, summer public interest positions. These students are committed to the public interest and intend to pursue a public interest career after law school. The purpose of the grant is to offset the costs of living for students who incur significant financial burden by taking an unpaid position for the summer. The Public Interest Experience Grants Board (PIE Grants Board) hopes students will gain invaluable experience, skills, contacts, and insight to further enable them to find employment after law school in the competitive practice of public interest law.

Both 1L and 2L students are eligible to apply.

Applications for the 2008 summer are due by 12 p.m. on April 4, 2008.
