Ms JD Public Interest Scholarship

The Ms. JD Scholarship program provides a stipend to students as they pursue careers in public interest and civil rights law.  Ms. JD is thrilled to continue our support of women pursuing public interest careers and soften the burden faced by those who accept public interest and civil rights related internships, which are often unpaid.

Ms. JD aims to award scholarships to applicants who will become leaders in the public interest and civil rights community and who will follow through on a plan to pursue public interest and civil rights career paths.  This commitment can be demonstrated through prior work experience (not necessarily legal in nature), engagement in public service or civil rights work during your undergraduate and legal education, and service and volunteer work. Successful applicants demonstrate an understanding of the rewards and challenges of a public interest  or civil rights legal career.

Use the link below to apply to the Ms. JD Scholarships. All applications are due by 11:59pm EST on Sunday, April 6th. Selected students will be notified by May 30, 2025.
