The OUTlaws Public Service Fellowship

The OUTlaws Public Service Fellowship is supported by the Spectrum Fund, established by Henry Grix (AB '70, JD '77) and Howard Israel (BFA '72) to provide financial support to students who take on public sector work during their summer to benefit the LGBTQ+ community. This Fund is supported by our generous donors and through annual fundraising efforts, including the Kevin E. Kennedy Memorial Gayla. The fellowship is open to 2Ls.

Fellows must work full-time for a minimum of 10 weeks with a qualified government or public interest organization. The organization must be either a government agency (federal, state, or local) or a non-profit organization. The work performed must be non-partisan, legal in nature, and supervised by an attorney. Judicial externships do not qualify.

In recognition of their selection, the Fellow receives a summer scholarship. Fellows are not eligible for the SFF Grant, the SFF Loan, or other Law School funding. Additional funding obtained by the Fellow does not reduce the fellowship amount.
