Dagen-Legomsky Fellowship Awards
CALL FOR APPLICANTS
Deadline: Friday, February 9, 2024

This call for fellowship applicants applies to TWO different areas of opportunity and is open to all currently enrolled J.D. students at Washington University Law. The Dagen-Legomsky Hague Fellowship and the Dagen-Legomsky Xiamen Fellowship provide recipients with financial support to engage in exciting and meaningful summer work or study in international public interest law.  These fellowships are made possible through the Harris World Law Institute by a generous gift from the late Margaret and Irvin Dagen in honor of Professor Stephen H. Legomsky. Interested students may apply for both fellowships, but must submit separate documents for each fellowship.

The fellowship grant awards for 2024 include a cash award of $5,000 and payment of course registration fees.

Please direct questions and submit application materials to Jamie Roggen by email (jamie.roggen@wustl.edu) by Friday, February 9, 2024.
