About the Fund
The Nebraska Public Interest Law Fund (NPILF) Summer Fellowships provide a limited number of stipends to matriculated University of Nebraska College of Law students who secure summer positions that serve the public interest. To be considered for a fellowship, applicants must meet certain individual and host-organization criteria described herein. NPILF strongly encourages all interested students to apply.
The NPILF committee will continue to review applications as they are received until funding runs out.

The NPILF fund is very important for students who want to go into public interest work upon graduation. Most internships in this field are unpaid, and this grant allows students to obtain experience in this field without having to worry about financial issues. As a law student who wants to go into public interest work, I know that students who are interested in this area are very passionate about what they want to do and will work as hard and long as necessary to create change.
