What is Student Opportunity Funding?
Student Opportunity Funding provides financial support for ASU Law JD students pursuing unpaid or low-paid legal experiences in public interest, government, policy and technology law. Whether in Arizona, across the country or in Washington, D.C., these programs help students build careers while serving the public good.
Together, these programs offer ASU Law JD students the opportunity to gain meaningful, career-shaping legal experience while minimizing financial obstacles. Whether you're advocating for clients, shaping policy or analyzing regulatory frameworks, Student Opportunity Funding helps you make an impact – now and for the future. JD students are eligible to receive up to a maximum of $5,000 from all funding opportunities combined during their time at ASU Law.
How to apply
Applications for funding are submitted through the portal. Each opportunity has its own timeline and process. Most require:
- Proof of placement or acceptance
- Resume
- A brief statement of interest
Additional information and deadlines can be found within the application portal. Students are encouraged to begin their applications as early as possible once the application period opens, as funding is limited and awarded on a rolling basis.
