In addition to prosecutors, the association\u2019s membership includes law students, former prosecutors, and law enforcement personnel.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, the NBPA expanded its mission by creating a 501(c)(3) foundation to support the next generation of law students of color passionate about pursuing a career in public service. The NBPA Foundation provides scholarships to Black law students who demonstrate an interest in prosecution. In 2021, the NBPA Foundation launched a fellowship program, providing funding and mentorship to students who interned at state prosecutors\u2019 offices. The Foundation seeks to strengthen the pipeline of minority law students entering a career in prosecution through its Fellowship Program, which will provide placement and financial assistance to law students interested in participating in a non-paid internship at a prosecutor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<h3><em><strong>Apply Now: Grants for Summer Internship in Public Interest Technology \u2013 Due March 15, 2024<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSePa_TX2exHvxX9TxEJV94zzageeM1elAxR2Y-wXb2BWzGU0Q\/viewform\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3624\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iLIT-PIT-Summer-Grants-Apply-Now-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iLIT-PIT-Summer-Grants-Apply-Now-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iLIT-PIT-Summer-Grants-Apply-Now-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iLIT-PIT-Summer-Grants-Apply-Now-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iLIT-PIT-Summer-Grants-Apply-Now-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iLIT-PIT-Summer-Grants-Apply-Now.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>iLIT is excited to announce <strong>grants<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>for summer internships in public interest technology<\/strong>\u00a0for diverse Temple students! <em><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSePa_TX2exHvxX9TxEJV94zzageeM1elAxR2Y-wXb2BWzGU0Q\/viewform\">Applications are now open<\/a>\u00a0and will close <\/em><strong><em>March 15, 2024.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you conduct your summer internship search, we hope this grant opportunity will encourage you to consider organizations doing work in public interest technology (PIT). iLIT can help you connect with PIT employers, including some who have already expressed interest in hosting a Temple law student.
