Michigan Law School's New Public Service Guarantee

http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com The University of Michigan Law School announced that next summer they will begin their Public Service Guarantee program. It will give second year students (2Ls) a $5,000 summer stipend if they obtain public interest or government internships, in qualified institutions. The goal of the Public Service Guarantee is allow students to follow their true passions, instead of being deterred because of financial hardship. Hence, the students will be able to use the stipend while serving the greater good. As the top-ranked public school, Michigan Law also plans on continuing its Dean's Public Service Fellowships. Starting in 2009, the fellowship will provide students with a $7,000 summer stipend. According to Zoe Levine, a current Dean's Fellow, he believes that "Many students will now be able to do what they're passionate about without adding to their financial anxieties."
