Public Interest Scholarship Program
American University Washington College of Law (AUWCL) is proud to invest in the next wave of public interest leaders by providing three-year, full-tuition, Public Interest/Service Scholarships (PIPS). AUWCL created the PIPS Program in 2001 to provide financial and programmatic support to students with strong academic credentials and the desire and potential to pursue a meaningful public interest or public service career upon graduation.
