Summer Funding with SPIN

SPIN was created to provide its members with summer funding for public interest opportunities which are normally unpaid. SPIN members can obtain such funding through Work Study grants of up to $4,000 per summer. $1,000 of this money must be "matching funds" from either the student's employer, state, or law school. Temple Law School has a commitment to supporting public interest work, and therefore offers priority for matching funds to students who meet requirements set by the SPIN board. SPIN contributes to this fund but does not control its use.

SPIN Member Requirements

The SPIN requirements include completing volunteer work both for SPIN as an organization, and for the Temple and Philadelphia communities. The requirements also include soliciting donations for the Annual SPIN Auction. See the SPIN FAQ for more information on this year's requirements. Contact Temple Financial Aid with questions regarding work study eligibility.

Additionally, SPIN members who fulfill the volunteering and solicitation requirements can apply for a SPIN Honors Award. This award recognizes students for exceptional contributions to SPIN and public interest, and is reviewed and awarded separately from work study. See the SPIN FAQ for more information.
