Summer Fellowships

Can I apply for a second summer of Boalt Funding?

For Summer 2008, the Boalt Hall Summer Fellowship Program will offer $2000 to students who received a Boalt Hall Summer Fellowship last year, who will complete a second eligible summer of public interest work in Summer 2008, and who request the support and meet the qualification requirements detailed in the Fellowship Guidelines and Application.

In addition to this $2000 award, “second-time” applicants may also apply through the Boalt Hall Summer Fellowship Program for additional supplemental funds. Awards of supplemental funds will be discretionary and the result of a competitive process. “Second time” supplemental awards of up to $3000 will be distributed based on the following criteria: satisfaction of the application pre-requisites, the quality and significance of the proposed project, the thoughtfulness of the proposal, the specificity of the project, and the stability and supportiveness of the sponsoring organization. Additional selection criteria will include a demonstration of effort to pursue external funding. (If external funding sources do not exist for a particular project type, this will be taken into account.)

First time Boalt Hall Summer Fellowship applicants may supplement their $4000 with external or Boalt Hall-affiliated funds. Click here to find out how the funding cap and the “banking” option work.
