***GOODWIN DIVERSITY FELLOWSHIPS***

To promote diversity in the legal profession, and to help leading minority law students defray the high costs of their legal education, Goodwin Procter has created the Goodwin Diversity Fellowships. Through these Fellowships, we annually award stipends of $15,000 each to up to three minority law students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance, outstanding leadership, a commitment to community service, interest in the private practice of law, and other special achievements and honors. Finalists who do not receive a Fellowship may receive an offer to join our summer associate program following their second year of law school.

We accept applications for Goodwin Diversity Fellowships from any full-time, currently enrolled student of color who is pursuing a J.D. degree at an accredited law school and has no more than two full years of law school remaining. Students should apply for a Fellowship during the summer before their second year of law school, in connection with signing up to interview with us for a summer associate position the following year. Candidates applying to be Goodwin Diversity Fellows must express interest in joining our Summer Program.
