Equal Justice Works Summer Corps (Funding!) Application Period Opens March 1
From our peeps at Equal Justice Works:
Summer Corps will begin accepting online applications for the 2012 program on March 1, 2012. The deadline to apply is March 23, 2012 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
There are three steps you must take before completing an application:
- Make sure you are eligible to apply. Please see our member eligibility and criteria page for more information.
- Secure a qualifying project with a qualifying organization. To apply for Summer Corps you must first obtain a placement at a qualifying nonprofit organization. Equal Justice Works will not find a placement for you.
- Design a qualifying project. Summer Corps supports projects in which students provide primarily direct legal services to low-income and underserved individuals. Community outreach and education components are also encouraged. Projects where students are doing pure policy work do not qualify for Summer Corps.
