SABA-DC’S 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 sponsors several fellows every year. The 2025 application has closed and our fellows are listed below. 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.
