Borchard Foundation Fellowship in Law and Aging Grant

Overview

The Borchard Foundation Center on Law & Aging offers two-year fellowships to law school graduates interested in, and perhaps already in the early stages of pursuing, an academic and/or professional career in law and aging.

During the fellowship period, the Center’s director and former fellows are available to help fellows with the further development of their knowledge, skills, and contacts. Fellows may also receive from the Center financial support to attend appropriate professional education program opportunities. A fellow is expected to provide the Center with monthly activities reports. Fellows may live and work where they choose in the United States. Fellows must be either U.S. citizens or legally resident in the U.S.

The two-year fellowship period typically starts around July 1 for those already admitted to the Bar and from not later than September 1 for those who must sit for the Bar exam after law school graduation. Fellows participate in conference calls and other planned activities with other current and former fellows to encourage networking. Former fellows who successfully complete the fellowship period may also participate in the Center’s Former Fellows Grant Program.

Amount

The two-year fellowship is $62,000 a year and is intended as a full-time position only.
