Fellowship Program
In summer 2021, the Sarita and Claire Wright Lucas Foundation launched a Summer Fellowship Program to provide law students pursuing careers as public prosecutors with a paid summer internship opportunity in participating District Attorney’s offices. The program accepts applications from students at ABA-accredited law schools who are interested in exploring public interest careers as Prosecutors.
Fellowship Applications are Open!
Applications are now open for the 2025 SCWLF District Attorney Fellowship, due March 31, 2025.
