Eligibility

To be eligible for the YiPPiE! stipend supplement, you must:

(1) be a 1L or 2L student at Yale Law School

(2) qualify for a Summer Public Interest Fellowship (SPIF) (a memorandum (in .DOC format) from the Financial Aid Office concerning SPIF eligibility is available here.)

(3) make a substantial contribution to at least one YiPPiE! fundraising event. 3-5 hours of work on a particular event is typical, though many students contribute far more than this

If you satisfy these requirements, the YiPPiE! stipend will be added directly and automatically to your SPIF grant, subject to whatever payment and withholding policies accompany SPIF.

Please note that YiPPiE! does not and cannot independently evaluate your eligibility for SPIF, which is administered by the YLS Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Office is also responsible for disbursing the stipend to individual students. Accordingly, participation in YiPPiE! does not by itself guarantee receipt of or eligibility for the stipend. Questions about eligible forms of employment and payment should be directed to the Financial Aid Office.
