This is the first Tuesday Post Grad Fellowship blog post for the 2012-2013 academic year. The plan is to keep you informed about a range of entry level public interest fellowship opportunities in nonprofit, academic and law firm settings. Please note that information about government fellowships and honors programs will begin later in the summer. OPICS is here to serve as a helpful resource and partner as you begin your search for public sector post-grad employment. Please consider setting up an appointment during the summer months. We are here throughout July and August (with the exception of a vacation week or two), and would be happy to speak to you in person or by phone. Please contact 202.662.9655 to schedule an appointment.
Click below for a description of the basic fellowship types as well as links to essential information and resources to utilize in your post grad fellowship research and application strategy.

The Split Summer list contains all firms that offer summer associates the opportunity to split their summer between the firm and a public interest organization, or in some cases, a government office. This list includes both firms that will be participating in EIW as well as firms that are not coming to campus, so you should apply to them separately, if interested.
This information can be helpful in researching firms, choosing those you’d like to bid for and preparing for interviews and call backs.
See below for the list. Special thanks to Yale Law School Career Development Office for producing this information.
