The Center for Public Interest Careers (CPIC) flagship program matches undergraduates and recent graduates with paid summer and post-graduate year-long positions in non-profit organizations in Boston, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, and San Francisco. The CPIC Fund for Service Internship (FSI) Program, funded by the Heckscher Foundation for Children, matches students with summer internship opportunities in child advocacy organizations in New York and provides a stipend and housing. CPIC also administers four additional grant opportunities for undergraduates. The Harvard Clubs Summer Community Service Fellowship, offered by Harvard Clubs in select cities across the US, provides funding for students to work in a non-profit organization in the city of the sponsoring Harvard Club. CPIC works closely with the Harvard Alumni Association to administer this program; applications are due in mid-March. The Arthur Liman Public Interest Law Fellowship provides funding for undergraduates working in unpaid public interest legal positions over the summer; applications are due in February. The Steamboat Scholar Program, a program of the Steamboat Foundation, provides one Harvard junior with a generous stipend to work at Facing History and Ourselves over the summer. The Summer Work Study Awards for Public Service are also available through CPIC. Students who are work-study eligible can apply to receive work-study funding to work at a non-profit organization of their choice. Applications are available in April and due on a rolling basis throughout May on a first-come first-served basis until the funding is depleted.
