Over the past 26 years, PIFP has funded 260 law students working at more than 140 public interest law organizations, raising over $1,000,000 for Villanova Law’s public interest community. We are celebrating these accomplishments in-person at John F. Scarpa Hall, with virtual options to participate available.

About PIFP

Established in 1998, the Walter A. Lucas ‘88 Public Interest Fellowship Program (PIFP) of the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law is a student-run, non-profit organization that provides financial support to law students who commit their summers to public interest legal work. In turn, PIFP Fellows work in otherwise unpaid positions with various public interest organizations throughout the region to advocate for the common good and to deliver free legal services to underserved and underrepresented populations.

PIFP also provides financial support through its Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) to recent graduates pursuing careers in public interest law. In 2019, PIFP’s LRAP was renamed the Detta and Joseph Tate Loan Repayment Assistance Program, in honor of our generous donors who now fund the program. In 2009, PIFP was named in memory of Walter Lucas ’88, who dedicated his legal career to helping others and fighting employment discrimination.

We look forward to seeing you!
