The first steps on this career path are challenging, and Penn Carey Law is committed to helping our students succeed through funding postgraduate fellowships. </p> <p>Penn Carey Law’s postgraduate fellowship program has been highly successful in launching the public interest careers of recent graduates. Since 2009, the Law School has supported over 115 fellows, all of whom either remained employed by their original host organization or secured public interest positions in the same field. </p> <div> <div class="content-cta-container"> <h3>Applications for Fall 2025 Now Open!</h3> <p>The application deadline for the Fall 2025 Penn Carey Law Postgraduate Fellowship Program is <strong>Monday, April 7 at 5:00 pm ET</strong>.</p> <ul> <li> <strong><a class="file file_13361 lw_files_pdf file file_13361" title="Penn Carey Law Project-Based Fellowship Application 2025.pdf" href="/live/files/13361-penn-carey-law-project-based-fellowship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2025 Project-Based Fellowship Application</a></strong> </li> <li style="text-align: left;"> <strong><a class="file file_13362 lw_files_pdf file file_13362" title="Penn Carey Law Catalyst Fellowship Application 2025.pdf" href="/live/files/13362-penn-carey-law-catalyst-fellowship-application" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2025 Catalyst Fellowship Application</a></strong> </li> <li style="text-align: left;"> <strong><a class="file file_13368 lw_files_pdf" title="cozen fellowship application 2025.pdf" href="/live/files/13368-cozen-fellowship-application-2025pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2025 Cozen Family Voting Rights Fellowship Application</a></strong> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <h3>Project-Based Fellowships</h3> <p><strong>Penn Carey Law’s Project-Based Fellowships</strong> offer recent graduates the opportunity to partner with a local, national, or international public interest nonprofit organization and design a one- or two-year project to address a particular client need. Multiple project-based fellowship opportunities are available each year through the support of different funding sources. </p> <p>The following fellowships are currently funding alumni in a wide array of work:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Toll Public Interest Fellowship</strong> </li> <li> <strong>University of Pennsylvania Law Review Public Interest Fellowship </strong> </li> <li> <strong>Langer, Grogan & Diver Fellowship in Social Justice</strong> (supporting projects in the Delaware Valley) </li> </ul> <p>And, NEW for the coming Fall 2025 fellowship cycle, we are excited to share two new fellowship opportunities for work in <strong>direct civil legal services</strong>. Each fellowship will be <strong>two years</strong> in duration:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Kroman Fellowship</strong> (supporting projects anywhere in the U.S.) </li> <li> <strong>PA Access to Justice Fellowship</strong> (supporting projects in Pennsylvania) </li> </ul> <p>➣ <strong><em>Application Eligibility:</em></strong> Penn Carey students in their last year of law school (3Ls) or recent graduates who are concluding a clerkship undertaken immediately after graduation.</p> <h3>Catalyst Fellowships</h3> <p><strong>Penn Carey Law’s Catalyst Fellowships</strong> financially support students who obtain post-graduate volunteer positions at organizations in which full-time staff positions may ultimately be secured or which may lead to related employment in the public sector. Catalyst fellowships fund students to work with local, state, federal and international government agencies, public defender offices, public interest organizations, and NGOs. Clerkship positions at courts or tribunals that as a matter of practice do not pay their clerks but provide a unique and career-enhancing experience may be eligible.</p> <p>➣ <em><strong>Application Eligibility:</strong></em> Penn Carey students in their last year of law school (3Ls).</p> <h3>Cozen Family Voting Rights Fellowship</h3> <p><strong>The Cozen Family Voting Rights Fellowship,</strong> supported by a multi-year gift from Stephen Cozen L’64 and Sandy Cozen, provides two years of funding for a graduate to work with a non-profit organization on a project that advances and protects voting rights. </p> <p>There is a growing need for advocacy to increase voter participation, access, and protection at the federal and state legislative levels, particularly as some states attempt to subvert voter protection mechanisms and Congress attempts to pass new and expansive federal voting legislation.</p> <p>Projects funded through the fellowship will include legislative or legal reform aimed at addressing crucial voting rights issues, such as voter and felon disenfranchisement, barriers to voter registration, and restrictions on absentee or mail-in voting. Projects will also include a direct service component where fellows will work directly with individuals or groups who are systematically disenfranchised to better understand the hidden barriers to voter participation and gather and analyze data to inform advocacy and drive real change.</p> <p>➣ <em><strong>Application Eligibility:</strong></em> Penn Carey students in their last year of law school (3Ls) and alumni who have graduated within the last seven years.</p> <p class=""><a id="jobsearchfunding"></a></p> <p class=""> </p> <h2 class="">Public Sector Job Search Funding</h2> <p>To support the job search efforts of second and third-year students, OCS offers special funding to cover the costs for public sector call-back interviews and attendance at public sector conferences.</p> <h5>Job Search Reimbursement Policies</h5> <div class="lw_accordion"> <section class="lw_accordion_block"> <h4 class="lw_accordion_block_title"><button aria-expanded="false" type="button">Public Sector Call-Back Interviews</button></h4> <div class="lw_accordion_block_content" aria-hidden="true"> <p>For car, bus, or train travel to call-back interviews, the Law School will reimburse up to $90 for each round-trip.

Many law students and graduates are committed to public service but find it difficult to accept public sector employment because of their high law school debt burden. Since 1989, the Law School has operated the Toll Loan Repayment Assistance Program (TolLRAP). Penn Carey Law’s TolLRAP:</p> <ul> <li> Enables students to pursue public interest careers without regard to indebtedness by providing interest-free loans to help defray the costs of educational loans. </li> <li> Provides forgiveness of the loans after each year the graduate is in public interest employment. </li> <li> Bases the amount of assistance on a formula that considers the applicant’s income and annual law school debt. </li> </ul> <p>Please contact the TolLRAP Counselor at <strong><a href="mailto:TolLRAPCounselor@law.upenn.edu">TolLRAPCounselor@law.upenn.edu</a></strong> with any questions.</p> <h5><strong>TolLRAP Guidelines, Application, & FAQ</strong></h5> <div class="lw_accordion"> <section class="lw_accordion_block"> <h4 class="lw_accordion_block_title"><button aria-expanded="false" type="button">TolLRAP II Guidelines</button></h4> <div class="lw_accordion_block_content" aria-hidden="true"> <a href="/live/files/12384-tollrap-guidelines-october-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TolLRAP II Guidelines</a> - Effective October 1, 2024 </div> </section> <section class="lw_accordion_block"> <h4 class="lw_accordion_block_title"><button aria-expanded="false" type="button">TolLRAP II Application Materials</button></h4> <div class="lw_accordion_block_content" aria-hidden="true"> <p>The TolLRAP II program was introduced in November 2012 and reflects the change in the treatment of loans by the federal government, including through IDR and Public Service Loan Forgiveness, and rewards sustained service through TolLRAP Plus.

No, according to the legislation, this time is counted toward PSLF. You do have the option of continuing to make payments that will be applied directly toward the principal balance during this time period.</p> <p>Q. <strong>Should I make payments during this time period?</strong></p> <p>A. You should only consider making payments if you are unsure that you will remain in the PSLF program for 10 years. In general, if you are unsure of your long-term career goals, you should always pay as much as you can toward your loans – including assistance from TolLRAP. Any funds received from Penn that are not used for student loan payments, could have tax implications. You should consult with a tax professional for more guidance.</p> <p>Q. <strong>I’ve made a payment after March 13th, 2020 and before my loans were placed in an Administrative Forbearance. What should I do?</strong></p> <p>A. Any payment you made during the administrative forbearance period (March 13, 2020, through December 31, 2022) can be refunded. Contact your loan servicer to request that your payment be refunded.</p> <p>Q. <strong>My loans are now in the Administrative Forbearance, do I need to return any funds to TolLRAP?</strong></p> <p>A. No.</p> <p>Q. <strong>Will there be any changes to TolLRAP’s disbursement schedule?</strong></p> <p>A. No.</p> <p><strong>Questions?</strong> Please contact <a href="mailto:TolLRAPCounselor@law.upenn.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TolLRAPCounselor@law.upenn.edu</a> .</p> </div> </section> <section class="lw_accordion_block"> <h4 class="lw_accordion_block_title"><button aria-expanded="false" type="button">Loan Servicer Change</button></h4> <div class="lw_accordion_block_content" aria-hidden="true"> <p><a id="fedloan"></a> FedLoan Servicing has announced that it will stop servicing federal student loans when its current contract ends.

The eligible graduate will be paid out based on a 10-year loan repayment plan, as of the time the loans were taken out, with a maximum annual payment of $1,400. When a bar loan cannot be taken on a term of 10 years, it will be pro-rated based on a 10 year schedule and at the interest rate reported at the time of the application.</p> <h3>For Married Applicants: Filing Joint Federal Tax Returns</h3> <p>Your filing status on your federal tax return will have an impact on your <a href="https://studentaid.gov/loan-simulator/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDR payment amount</a>. To determine your IDR payment, when filing jointly, the government will calculate your payment using the joint income reported on your federal tax forms. In most cases, this will increase your IDR monthly payment. Married borrowers who file separate federal tax returns will have their IDR payments calculated based on their individual income.</p> <p>Graduates will receive assistance from TolLRAP II based on their portion of the IDR payment if filing jointly (not based on the joint income). TolLRAP II awards will be calculated using the income documented in the Employment Verification Form. This could result in a payment from TolLRAP which is less than your required monthly IDR payment as required by the government.</p> <p>Married applicants in TolLRAP I filing jointly will have their eligibility determined based on the higher of their individual income or half of the joint income.</p> <p>Applicants should consider all financial ramifications carefully when determining your federal tax filing status. Consulting a tax advisor is recommended.</p> <h3>Consolidating Student Loans</h3> <p>Consolidation is not always necessary to participate in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program and TolLRAP II. Consolidation is only necessary if you have ineligible loans through the old Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL/Stafford) or Perkins student loan programs. Be careful not to consolidate eligible Direct Loans upon which you have already made qualifying PSLF payments before coming to Law School. This action will nullify any qualifying payments made on these loans. The Perkins Loan also has separate cancellations benefits that can become invalid by consolidating this loan. Please review <a href="https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/consolidation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this page on studentaid.gov</a> to determine if consolidation is right for you.</p> <h3>Perkins Loan Cancellation Program</h3> <p>Before consolidating your Perkins Loan so that it can be included in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program and thus be considered for TolLRAP II, consider the cancellation provisions already provided by this program. Law graduates who serve in Law enforcement (i.e. prosecutors or defense attorneys) can be eligible for the <a href="https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/perkins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Perkins Loan Cancellation</a> program. Under this program, the Perkins Loan could be forgiven sooner compared to the PSLF program, which could mean greater financial and career flexibility for the borrower.</p> <h3>Applying for IDR or Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)</h3> <h4>Applying for IDR</h4> <ul> <li> Determine eligibility using <a href="https://studentaid.gov/loan-simulator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Repayment Calculator</a> </li> <li> Inform your loan servicer that you would like to apply for IDR </li> <li> Follow instructions provided by your loan servicer or the on-line application can be found at <a href="https://studentaid.gov/idr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.studentaid.gov</a> </li> </ul> <h4>Applying for PSLF</h4> <ul> <li> Download <a href="https://studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/public-service-application-for-forgiveness.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Employment Certification</a> Form </li> <li> Have employer complete applicable section on form </li> <li> Submit completed form to <a href="https://www.mohela.com/DL/secure/account/loginStep1.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MOHELA</a> (it’s recommended that you complete this form each year) </li> <li> Upon review of your Employment Certification, additional documentation may be requested </li> <li> MOHELA will notify you if your employment qualifies, and if so, how many payments during the certification period were qualifying payments, the total number of qualifying payments you have made, and how many payments you must still make before you can qualify for PSLF </li> </ul> <p>Additional information on IDR and the PSLF program can be found below:</p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://studentaid.gov/idr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federal Student Aid</a> (Office of the US Department of Education) – IDR </li> <li> <a href="https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federal Student Aid</a> (Office of the US Department of Education) – PSLF </li> <li> <a href="https://www.mohela.com/pslf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MOHELA</a> – PSLF </li> <li> <a href="https://studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/public-service-application-for-forgiveness.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Employment Certification Form</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://studentaid.gov/idr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDR Application</a> </li> </ul> </div> </section> <section class="lw_accordion_block"> <h4 class="lw_accordion_block_title"><button aria-expanded="false" type="button">General resources for understanding and managing your loans</button></h4> <div class="lw_accordion_block_content" aria-hidden="true"> <ul> <li> <a href="mailto:hansonedservices@gmail.com">Jeffrey Hanson</a>, Financial Literacy and Borrower Education Services </li> <li> <a href="https://www.accesslex.org/recent-graduates-and-new-lawyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AccessLex</a> for Recent Graduates and New Lawyers </li> <li> <a href="https://studentaid.gov" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federal Loan Information</a> </li> </ul> </div> </section> </div> <p class=""><a id="summerfunding"></a> </p> <h2>Summer Funding</h2> <p>At Penn Carey Law, there are no financial barriers to taking unpaid internships in the public sector or pursuing public interest work elsewhere in the U.S. during your 1L or 2L summer.
