SABA-DC’S PUBLIC INTEREST FELLOWSHIP

SABA-DC’s Public Interest Fellowship is available to second and third-year law students who attend a law school in Washington, D.C., Maryland, or Virginia and plan to work in the metropolitan D.C. area (including Baltimore and Annapolis) after graduating law school.

The primary purpose of the Fellowship is to award a stipend that offers rising third-year law students and recent law school graduates financial assistance as they explore or transition to full-time work with a public interest or government organization located in the metropolitan D.C. area. The Fellowship also provides mentoring and networking opportunities to our awardees.

The SABA DC Fellowship 2026 Application is now closed.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our Public Interest Fellowship Committee Co-Chairs, Samay Kindra and Rhea Shinde, at sabadcpifellowship@gmail.com.
