It is with great joy that the Center for Equal Opportunity (CEO) announces and begins accepting applications today for its NEW Civil Rights Fellowship.
The program, which will take place between Tuesday, August 9 – Friday, August 12, is intended for law students with an interest in a career in a public, private, or nonprofit setting where their instruction and training can be shared with the public, the courts, and/or through policy development.
All incoming fellows will be provided a $500 stipend.
Lodging and meals will be provided, and travel expenses will be reimbursed.
CEO welcomes law students to apply who have at least one year of formal legal education and who are dedicated to supporting colorblind equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in America.
The Fellowship will cover topics as varied as the history and substance of major civil rights legislation and caselaw, civil rights enforcement and litigation tactics, critical race theory and voting rights, and learning to write and engage with the media and the public.
The seminars over the course of the week will be led by law and policy experts, litigators, former government officials, and other thought leaders. Fellows will also get the opportunity to visit major think tanks based in Washington, D.C. where the program will be held.

The Center for Equal Opportunity is a nonpartisan, nonprofit conservative civil rights organization founded in 1995 that studies, develops, and disseminates ideas that promote colorblind equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in America by:
- Conducting studies of racial and ethnic preferences in college admissions;
- Challenging public and private institutions that promote racial and sex preferences;
- Filing legal briefs in federal and state courts to contest the impermissible use of race, sex, and national origin in education, employment, and contracting;
- Influencing public opinion through writing, speaking, and media appearances; and
- Monitoring and advising on government action—at all levels—to ensure proper adherence to colorblind and nondiscriminatory policies.
