The North Carolina Bar Association’s Government & Public Sector, Criminal Justice, and Zoning, Planning & Land Use Sections are pleased to solicit applications for the 2024 Government & Public Sector Section Annual Summer Internship Scholarship! We anticipate awarding six $1,000 scholarships to law students completing their summer internships in a government entity.

Eligible candidates are currently enrolled in an accredited ABA law school, are working without compensation in a government law office (i.e., city, county, state, or federal) in North Carolina at least one half of the summer of 2024, and demonstrate a commitment to serving in government or public sector law offices. The scholarship money must go directly to the recipient. Each recipient must write an article describing their experience and the benefits of their summer internship. Each article will be considered for publication in the online NCBarBlog platform hosted by the Government & Public Sector Section.

Last year, four scholarships of $1,000 each were awarded to Alexandra Bentley, Zaria Graham, Abigail Jenkins, and Cassandra Saxton. Each recipient wrote an article describing their experience and the benefits of their summer internship.

This year’s applications should be submitted no later than Friday, May 3, 2024, to be considered. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kayla Britt.
