The entire LAWA Fellowship Program is approximately 14 months long.
The LAWA Program starts in early July when the Fellows attend the Georgetown Law Center’s Foundations of American Law and U.S. Legal English courses.
Requirements:

Candidates who are awarded a LAWA Fellowship must be prepared to cover the costs of all additional expenses (such as visas, travel, housing, utilities, food, clothing, and health insurance, etc.).

Candidates are encouraged to apply for individual funding or seek support from their employers. The LAWA Program does not have the capacity to assist with these efforts. There is a fellowship available from AAUW in the amount of $18,000.
You are strongly encouraged to carefully read and comply with every requirement of the application, as incomplete or incorrect applications will not be considered.

You must be a women’s human rights lawyer from Africa in order to be considered. You must hold an LL.B. or other law degree. A preference is given to candidates who:
a. is currently living and working in Africa, and

b. do not already have a Masters’ Degree.

The strongest applicants tend to be about five to ten years out of law school, but those with less or more experience will be considered. Candidates with no work experience who are applying directly from an LL.B. degree or other law school will not be considered.
All people who are committed to women’s rights are strongly encouraged to apply, regardless of gender identity.
As a requirement of participation in the LAWA Program, all applicants must commit to return home to their own countries upon completion of the Fellowship and to use their best professional efforts to advance women’s human rights throughout their careers.
a. is currently living and working in Africa, and written and oral. Language problems have been the primary barrier to success for LAWA Fellows.

Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not.

The only way to distribute opportunity the same way talent is equally distributed is to let people know they have the power and with the right information they can access it.

Creative and talented people that can contribute to this important work are everywhere, especially in Africa but the opportunity to develop is limited to only a small number of people and those who are willing to go the extra mile.

Are you willing to go the extra mile??
we are willing to help you make the journey easy and stressless.
