The Summer Grant Interest Meeting is just around the corner, and we strongly encourage you to attend. This meeting provides crucial information about the Public Interest Law Organization (PILO) Grant, a valuable resource that can significantly impact your summer plans.

Why Attend?

🟢Financial Support: Did you know that up to 40% of 1Ls and roughly 15% of 2Ls take on unpaid government or nonprofit internships during the summer? The PILO Grant can help alleviate some of the financial challenges associated with these opportunities, allowing you to focus on gaining valuable experience.

🟢Increased Chances of Receiving the Grant: Attending the interest meeting not only provides you with vital information but also increases your chances of securing the PILO Grant. We take attendance at PILO events into consideration during the application process, demonstrating your commitment to public interest law.

This meeting is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the grant application process, eligibility criteria, and how PILO can support your career goals in public interest law.
