ABA Diversity Fellowship
For a student interested in management and conservation in endangered
species. The selected student will receive a $5000 stipend for this
summer to work in either the U.S. Department of Justice or U.S.
Department of Interior on endangered species issues. This is a great
opportunity for a student to gain hands-on experience in this area, and
our fellowship program will hopefully help add diversity to the natural
resources law field.
deadline for applications is March 4th
