Comments
The Fiske Fellowship Program annually recognizes up to four exceptional Michigan Law graduates who serve as government lawyers. The duration of the fellowship is three years.
In recognition of their selection as Fiske Fellows, and as long as the Fiske Fellows continue to meet eligibility criteria, the graduates will receive a $10,000 first-year cash stipend and debt repayment assistance to cover all required annual payments for all educational loans, and not merely with respect to law school loans.
The Fiske Fellowship comes from a gift by Michigan Law alum Robert Fiske ‘55. Fiske understood the importance of retaining well-trained lawyers in government service.
From his years as US attorney (SDNY) and as independent counsel, Fiske understood that having government service experience early in a professional career is a fulfilling path to pursue and wanted to help Michigan Law students have that experience.
