NYU School of Law’s Furman Public Policy Scholarship supports and trains future leaders in public policy through a scholarship program that includes mentorship, curricular offerings, and assistance in obtaining policy-oriented summer internships and post-graduate employment. Scholars are guaranteed placement in a white-paper writing seminar in their second year and the DC Clinic in their third year. This summer, we will be selecting one second-year law student to enter the scholarship program in the fall of 2015, joining the current Furman Public Policy scholars, and receiving a substantial scholarship award toward tuition costs for the 2L and 3L years.
Interested rising 2Ls should email a resume, transcript, writing sample, one-page statement of interest, and list of three recommenders (two of whom should be NYU faculty or affiliates) to Assistant Dean for Public Service Deirdre von Dornum (Deirdre.vondornum@nyu.edu) by June 22, 2015. The scholar will be selected based on academic excellence, commitment to public policy work, and demonstrated potential to be a leader in domestic or international policy. If you are working outside of New York this summer, please include contact information to facilitate follow-up by telephone or skype.
