SABA-DC’S PUBLIC INTEREST FELLOWSHIP |
Public Interest Fellowship SABA-DC provides financial assistance in the form of summer fellowships to law students working at public interest organizations in the metropolitan D.C. area. The primary purpose of the fellowships is to help fund a student’s internship with a public interest organization for the benefit of the South Asian community and the metropolitan D.C. area. The number of Fellowships awarded, as well as the amount of each grant, will be determined by the SABA-DC Fellowship Committee and is based on SABA DC’s fundraising efforts and the number of quality applicants it receives. SABA-DC has provided grants up to $7,500 per fellow in past years and sponsors several fellows every year. The 2025 application deadline is April 11, 2025. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Public Interest Fellowship Committee Co-Chairs, Sohil Khurana and Aliya Manjee, at sabadcpifellowship@gmail.com.
