The late Curt Beck, professor emeritus in Political Science at the University of Connecticut for many years, established this scholarship to support UConn undergraduate students pursuing internships that focus on social justice and equal access and fair participation in the legal system for traditionally underrepresented groups (i.e.: low-income, children, elderly).
Applications are accepted during the spring semester for summer internships.
The scholarship was awarded for the first time in 2022 to two outstanding UConn students, with all recipients featured below!
