The HRLA Bursary 2024
The HRLA is delighted to announce that applications are now open for our brand new, fully funded, human rights Bursary Scheme.
The scheme offers fully funded placements at leading human rights organisations. This year we are partnering up with JUSTICE, the leading human rights charity, and 5 Essex Chambers, a leading human rights set/ barristers’ Chambers.
If you have a passion for human rights law and would not otherwise be able to afford to undertake a placement, then we want to hear from you.
The placements are as follows:
JUSTICE 8-week placement: Commencing on 5th January 2025.
JUSTICE 8-week placement: Commencing in March 2025 (precise date tbc).
5 Essex Chambers mini-pupillages, each lasting 5 days: On flexible dates to be decided between Chambers and the applicant. Around 5 mini-pupillages are available.
The deadline for applications is 11.55pm on 3rd October 2024. Please send completed forms to administrator@hrla.org.uk
Linked below is the application form, along with an award policy (which explains the nature of the scheme and the assessment criteria we apply to ensure fair recruitment).
The scheme is particularly focused on those who would not otherwise be able to afford to undertake a placement due to their financial circumstances.
We look forward to receiving your applications!
If your organisation would like to be involved in sponsoring a bursary fund, please contact our administrator.
