KHLF awards all proceeds raised throughout the academic year as Summer Public Interest Grants to first and second-year law students who will perform summer legal work in the public interest sector. Grants are awarded for full-time public interest work at qualifying organizations. Applicants may also request partial grants. For more information about the application process, please visit King Hall's Career Services webpage.

To be eligible to apply for a grant, you must:

1. Be a member in good standing of KHLF;
2. Be a first or second-year student at King Hall for Summer Public Interest Grants;
3. Attend all mandatory meetings;
4. Volunteer 15 hours of time to the Annual Spring Auction, including 10 hours of active, documented solicitation, and 5 hours of work during / around the auction;

SPONSORING ORGANIZATIONS

In order to apply for a grant, the applicant must first secure summer employment with a qualifying public interest organization. Applicants may apply for a grant for summer employment with any 501(c)(3) non-profit or government organization dedicated to serving the legal needs of underrepresented or disadvantaged population.

Generally, KHLF does not award grants for summer work with a District Attorney Office or judicial clerkships. KHLF considers grant applications based on the specific project the applicant proposes, and evaluates the application in light of the legal needs that are served by the employer organization.
