Public Interest Summer Stipend

An Impact Challenge to Make a Lasting Difference

To build a strong future of dedicated public interest lawyers, we must invest in the next generation. There is no greater step we can take than to support the diverse and determined problem solvers, caregivers, and change-makers who will shape our world.

For a limited time, we are offering a generous fundraising match for our Public Interest Students. The Spring 2025 GW Law Public Interest Summer Stipend Endowment Match launched with $750,000 in dollar-for-dollar matching funds to double gifts for endowed, summer stipends.

Together, we can unlock $750K in enduring, essential endowment support to whose mission is to equip the next generation of leaders committed to serving people, and advancing the public good.

Until June 30, 2025, or when all matching funds are committed- whichever comes first– GW Law will double new, substantial gifts to Public Interest Summer Stipend endowments to support students who pursue a program that focuses on the law in which  representation of underserved groups is essential to maintaining the rule of law for all citizens and residents.

You can support GW Law students in perpetuity by: 

  • Creating a new endowed summer stipend that bears your name with a gift of $75K or more to be matched by GW to meet or exceed the minimum summer stipend endowment threshold of $150K.

Some additional provisions for giving apply, and our gift officers can assist you in making a gift that can build a lasting legacy.

Creating global leaders is the heart of GW Law’s mission. The law school is committed to expanding access to a legal education, and together we can open doors for GW Law students pursuing Public Interest.
