PSJD’s Got the Hook-Up on Summer Funding Resources (And Summer Fun!)
Colloquial urban slang aside, we can’t stress enough how important it is to find funding for your summer public interest work. Receiving a stipend or fellowship can be a huge financial burden off of your unpaid-intern shoulders, while allowing you the freedom to de-stress after those long hours providing legal assistance to communities in need.
If you haven’t found funding just yet, no worries! PSJD is always updating our Summer Funding lists, which contain links and deadline information on organizations that fund summer public interest work in any geographic location or specific geographical locations. Many deadlines are approaching fast (mid-March/early April), so check this list out ASAP!
With or without funding, all interns are interested in stretching their paycheck over the summer. PSJD is here to help – check out our guides to Having Fun on the Cheap in Washington DC, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. If you’re interning at a city that’s not on this list and you want to see a guide, just shoot us an email at psjd@nalp.org letting us know!
