Tom Steel Post-Graduate Fellowship

The Tom Steel Post-Graduate Fellowship is to fund a new lawyer each
year to work in the United States on an innovative, public interest
law project that serves the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered
community. The Fellowship will help ensure that unmet legal needs are
recognized and prioritized on an on-going basis, and that the next
generation of legal advocates for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgendered community develops the critical skills necessary to
secure civil rights into the future.

The Steel Fellowship is the first fellowship of its kind anywhere in
the country. This will be an $25,000-$35,000 award, offered each year,
for an individual to complete full-time work for twelve (12) months.

Pride Law Fund seeks to fund "cutting edge" projects with the
potential to make a lasting impact. Persons are eligible to apply if
they are law students eligible to graduate in the Spring semester, or
are lawyers within three years of their graduation from law school.
Additional requirements are set forth in the application materials.
Factors considered in awarding grants include:

Need for the project (how under-served the issue/community is)
Anticipated impact of the project
The organization and structure of the proposal
Stability and supportiveness of the sponsoring organization or attorney
The applicant's past community or public service activities
The applicant's connection and involvement with the LGBT community.

Deadline for Applications: December 31, 2007
