Public Service Scholarships

Public Service Scholarships are available to highly qualified J.D. degree applicants who want to make public law, including government service, a part of their career.

Recipients of Public Service Scholarships have the opportunity to apply to Pacific McGeorge's Capital Certificate Program hosted by the Capital Center for Public Law & Policy. This concentrated program includes courses of study and experiential learning designed to instill the skills of public lawyering, supplementing the J.D. degree. The Capital Certificate graduates obtain jobs throughout government entities, in private firms that deal with public law, and in traditional law firms where knowledge of statutory and regulatory law is an asset.

Public Interest Scholarships typically range from 25% to 75% of tuition. Interested applicants should contact the Pacific McGeorge Admissions Office.
