Apply for the QLaw Foundation's Sher Kung Grant and Receive up to $5,000!

 

Are you a member of the LGBT community or an ally?

 

Do you have a full-time summer internship that focuses on promoting the rights of LGBT persons or persons living with HIV/AIDS?

 

Will you be working with a non-profit organization or government agency?

 

If so, you may be eligible for up to a $5000 grant to fund full-time work (at least 400 hours over the duration of the summer). The goal of the QLaw Foundation's Sher Kung Grant is to ensure that unmet legal needs in the LGBT community are recognized and prioritized, and that the next generation of legal advocates for LGBT rights develop the skills necessary for careers in public interest law.

  

Applicants should have a demonstrated commitment to advancing LGBT rights and/or the rights of persons living with HIV/AIDS. Preference is given to applicants who are either a Washington State graduate student, a student working on projects within Washington State, or a student who has a demonstrated interest in working in Washington State after graduation.

 

All students working on behalf of LGBT rights or persons living with HIV/AIDS - including allies who do not personally identify as LGBT - are encouraged to apply.
