Fellowship Information
Individuals may apply by completing and submitting the required application and related materials. Finalists will be selected based upon law school transcripts, past and present work and community service experience, accomplishments and awards, character, and an essay. Each finalist will be interviewed by the Fellowship Selection Committee. Internships must be secured by time of interview, but not necessarily by time of application.
The Fellowship recipient(s) will receive a stipend, up to $6,000, for full-time summer employment (of at least ten weeks) at an organization described above. Applicants are eligible for the Marutani Fellowship even if they seek or receive other sources of summer funding.
After completing the internship, the Fellowship recipient will be required to complete a two-page report summarizing his/her summer experience. This report shall be submitted in a finished form appropriate for publication in the APABA-PA’s newsletter and its partner, the Philadelphia Bar Foundation, and their publications. The Fellowship recipient will also be recognized at the APABA-PA’s annual banquet in the fall. Attendance at the banquet is a condition of the Fellowship.
