Still Time to Make An Impact!

We are thrilled and humbled by the generosity of the DePaul community in supporting this important campaign and helping us reach our stretch goal of $20,000! That said, there's still time available for you to make an impact.

Thank you for your support!

DePaul’s Public Interest Law Association (PILA) is raising funds that will go directly to students who work unpaid, public-sector summer internships. These fellowships ensure students can cover basic living expenses over the summer while they gain valuable legal skills and give back to the community. This campaign kicked off during the Blue Demon Challenge, and now we are relying on YOU to help us fund these fellowships. We don't want financial hardship to prevent any law student from gaining practical skills by participating in a transformative internship experience.

The annual PILA auction is usually our biggest fundraising event of the year. Due to restrictions related to COVID-19, we will be hosting an online event this spring. As a result, we are relying on the generosity of our supporters to help make this campaign a success. Please show your support today!
