UVa law students awarded over $500,000 in grants for public service jobs
Law students awarded over $500,000 in grants for public service jobs
Grants were given to 126 students
by Mairead Crotty | Apr 28 2016 | 17 hours ago
A total of $514,979 in grants was awarded to 126 Law students to work in public service jobs this summer. This represents a fifty percent increase in funding from last year.
The grant program has gradually expanded since it was founded in the early 1980s.
In its first year, only six students were awarded grants. This year, the Public Interest Law Association was able to guarantee funding for all eligible students through a partnership with the Mortimer Caplin Public Service Center at the Law School.
While PILA raises money for the grant program through its own fundraisers, the Law School Foundation contributes additional funding.
