Can I split my summer between two organizations or work as a Chayes Fellow for less than 8 weeks?
The Chayes Fellowship Program does not permit Fellows to split the summer between two organizations unless the work is part of a comprehensive and coordinated project. However, Fellows are welcome to spend 8 weeks at one organization and work additional time elsewhere. This requirement is in place for two reasons. First, 8 weeks is needed for a student to maximize his/her involvement in an organization and engagement in substantive work. Second, 8 weeks is the minimum time period required for HLS students to receive stipends through the Summer Public Interest Funding program.
