PILF Grant to work at CC this Summer!

Dear Brian:

Congratulations!

You have been chosen to receive a PILF summer grant for 2007. We know that this is unusual in that you were expecting to be interviewed before any decisions were made. However, the committee has selected a few applicants to receive grants based solely on the exceptional nature of their written applications.

The Committee is obviously impressed with your proposal and your commitment to public interest and wishes you good luck with your project. We have selected this procedure in order to make the very difficult decisions we have to make regarding who will be able to take advantage of the significant, but limited, funding available. We believe that this is the fairest way of proceeding in light of the large number of strong applications we received. One of the downsides of proceeding in this fashion, from our point of view, is that we do not get the chance to meet you as we would if we had interviewed you. Should you have any questions regarding your summer project or a career in public interest law, please feel free to contact any of us as we would be delighted to speak with you.

Once again, congratulations and good luck.
