Fellowships/Scholarship Opportunities
The Lynn Walker Huntley Social Justice Fellowship
The Lynn Walker Huntley Social Justice Fellowship honors the rich legacy of Lynn Walker Huntley, a trailblazing lawyer and architect in philanthropy who was deeply involved in a wide spectrum of civil rights cases and causes. Among her many accomplishments, Lynn Walker Huntley was the first Black woman to serve as Editor of the Columbia Law Review, the first Black woman to head the Special Litigation Section in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the first woman president of the Southern Education Foundation.
The Lynn Walker Huntley Social Justice Fellowship will provide early-career attorneys with the skill and experience necessary to advance education equity through research, policy analysis, and litigation. The goal is to build a pool of attorneys prepared to support efforts to increase educational opportunities for students of color and students from low-income families in the southern states.
