Ms. JD Fellowship and Scholarship Programs

2022 Ms. JD Fellowship Program

The Ms. JD Fellowship application is now open to second-year law students. This one-year program is designed to foster a commitment to excellence in a new generation of women attorneys, inspired by the generation of trailblazers who paved the way for their success. It is an opportunity to develop new skills, grow your network, and learn how to build and develop your personal brand.


Each Fellowship recipient is paired with a mentor chosen from among the Brent Award honorees, Spirit of Excellence Award recipients, and ABA Commission on Women in the Profession Commissioners. Accepted Fellows also receive invitations and financial support to attend ABA and Ms. JD events, specifically Ms. JD’s annual conference and the ABA’s annual meeting. 

Students can learn more and apply now on the Ms. JD Fellowship website. The deadline to submit an application is May 31, 2022.


2022 Ms. JD Public Interest Scholarship


The Ms. JD Public Interest Scholarship program provides a stipend to students as they pursue careers in public interest law. Current law students entering their second or third year at an ABA-accredited U.S. law school by the summer of 2022 are eligible to apply now. 

Former public interest scholarship award recipients have pursued internships in immigration law, women’s rights, public health, public defense, government at all levels, and criminal justice reform. 

Students can apply now on the Ms. JD Public Interest website. The deadline to submit an application is May 23, 2022.
