Equal Justice Works Design-Your-Own Fellowship
The other fall deadline. You find the host organization yourself, since Equal Justice Works does not match fellows with hosts, and design the project together.
What it is
Two-year post-graduate fellowship. A salary set jointly with the host organization, health insurance and fringe benefits, and up to $5,000 in loan repayment assistance.
Two years on a project you design with a host organization.
