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.
For 2024, applications are now open and the deadline to submit is Monday April 1st. Applicants will hear back by the end of April.
The scholarship was awarded for the first time in 2022 to two outstanding UConn students, with all recipients featured below!
