The Law School awards up to twelve Graduate Fellowships to incoming students each academic year. From the pool of admitted students, potential candidates for Graduate Fellowships with strong entering indicators and a strong history of commitment to the public interest are identified. Potential candidates are invited to come to the school for an interview and a visit.

Graduate Fellows are awarded a stipend of $10,000 plus in-state tuition and fees. In addition to the stipend and in-state tuition waiver, Graduate Fellows are also given the opportunity to work as teaching assistants and/or research assistants on faculty scholarship projects (up to a maximum limit of 225 hours). Fellows are often matched with projects in their own area of interest and thereby gain immeasurable experience through this work.

If you need further information on the Graduate Fellowships at CUNY Law School, please contact Helena Quon, Special Assistant to the Dean by email or call 718-340-4287.
