Public Interest Law Scholarship Program - The Public Interest Law Scholarship is a three-quarter tuition scholarship, renewable each year as long as the scholar remains in good academic standing. It is the most generous and prestigious scholarship offered by the law school and recipients are among our strongest students. Not only do recipients have academic profiles that boast strong scores and grades, they also have very strong backgrounds in fields that relate to social justice and public service. Many have worked for years in areas such as human rights, immigration, social work, child advocacy, prison reform, politics and welfare reform. This program was launched in 1999 by generous graduates and friends who believed that the mission of the law school naturally led to the need for such a scholarship.
Public interest law scholars are required to participate and play a leadership role in a variety of public interest activities at the law school. Specifically, each scholar must successfully complete at least two full-time public interest/service internships. Additionally, each scholar is expected to become involved in a faculty public interest research project, participate in one of the school’s public interest organizations and/or plan public service projects in the greater Boston area.

Villanova University School of Law encourages students to pursue careers in public interest law. To facilitate such careers, VUSL has created the Public Interest Scholars Program. Each year, several students are offered a 50% tuition-waiver scholarship based on their past academic achievement, leadership, public interest work and commitment to contribute to public interest endeavors as future practitioners.

Scholars are required to perform 100 hours of pro bono service while in law school; to participate in one clinical course and either a second clinical course or a non-judicial externship for credit; to satisfy the law school’s research paper writing requirement by writing on a public interest topic; and to work in a legal capacity for a public interest organization for at least one of his or her two summers at Villanova. Upon graduation, Scholars will be obligated to engage in at least three years of public interest legal employment within their first five years of post-law school employment.
