CHECK OUT THE FULL PROGRAM
The annual PILG Auction benefits the PILG endowment held at the University of Connecticut School of Law Foundation, a 501(c)(3) entity. The PILG endowment in turn funds fellowships for students working in uncompensated summer public interest positions. Over the last twenty years, more than two hundred students have been awarded fellowships to pursue a wide variety of public interest endeavors nationally and internationally. Last year, fourteen students received fellowships serving in Georgia, Washington, DC, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts and, of course, in our home state of Connecticut.
