Summer Public Interest Employment Program (SPIEP)

Loyola Law School gives Loyola students the invaluable opportunity to experience public interest work, while providing public interest employers with law students assistance which they otherwise would not be able to afford.  Every summer, the SPIEP program supports 70 students (60 in public interest, 10 in government positions) working at local non-profit and government agencies.

Every year the Office of Financial Aid establishes the maximum amount a student can earn each summer on a work-study contract.  For summer 2011, the maximum amount awarded students was $3,500.  The maximum may be lower for students enrolled in summer school and/or not working full time.
