The 2024 NYU RJWRF application deadline is Monday, March 4, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Graduating J.D. students at NYU Law are invited to apply for the NYU Reproductive Justice and Women’s Rights Fellowship with a public interest host organization in the United States or abroad.
The host organization must do legal work in reproductive justice and/or women’s rights and have the capacity to supervise the fellow and help them develop professionally. The fellow’s work at the organization must focus on the rights of women and can include practice areas such as anti-trafficking, domestic violence, employment discrimination, family defense, and reproductive justice.
Applicants must propose a legal project that they will execute at their host organization. The project does not need to be novel, but it should address a specific issue area of critical need on which their work with the organization will focus.
The fellowship is for one year and begins in the fall following graduation. The fellowship provides a stipend of $50,000. Host organizations are strongly encouraged to supplement the fellow’s salary and provide health and other benefits, but it is not required.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to review PILC’s Project Fellowships and other resources in preparing their applications.
