HOW TO APPLY 

Please submit the following no later than Fri, Jan 14, 2022 at 11:59PM EST:

• A resume (no longer than two pages)
• Two Essays 
  1. Essay 1: How do you foresee using the Pauli Murray Fellowship to help you achieve your future goals? (300 words, Microsoft Document or PDF)
  2. Essay 2: Personal Statement or Video Essay selected from the prompts below* (written essays no longer than 600 words in a Microsoft Document or PDF OR video essay no longer than 5 minutes).

In your essay, we want to hear your authentic voice. Think carefully about your values, passions, aims, hopes and dreams. There is no “right answer” to these questions — the best answer is the one that is truest for you. 

• • How are civil rights and civil liberties reflected in your life and aspirations for the future?
  • In 1967 in a letter to Dr. Kathryn F. Clarenbach, Chair of the National Board of NOW, Pauli Murray wrote, “And since, as a human being, I cannot allow myself to be fragmented into Negro at one time, woman at another, or worker at another. I must find a unifying principle in all these movements to which I can adhere . . . This, it seems to me, is not only good politics but also may be the price of survival.” How does this quote resonate with you? How have your identities shaped you and inform your future aspirations?
  • How is the work of the ACLU meaningful to you?
  • What or who inspires you and why? 

• Two letters of recommendation: one academic and one character/personal recommendation*
  • We want to understand how you would contribute to the ACLU community. Please select two people from your life who could speak meaningfully to those qualities in their recommendations.
  • Personal recommendations could be a friend, mentor, or peer but should not include family members.
  • We care about the content of the letter, not about the title or status of the person who wrote it. We are far more interested in your motivations than those of your recommender.
  • Please make sure that the person writing the recommendation for you uses their own email to send the letter to fellowships@aclu.org. The subject line should read: Pauli Murray Fellow [applicant first name] [last name]. 

The strongest letters we receive come from Individuals who have interacted with you closely, extensively, and recently (typically in the last two or three years). Those who have observed and can comment, with specific examples, on your progress towards a goal. Character references without supporting evidence, even when highly positive, do not meaningfully improve your candidacy.

*Note: You may not write, draft, edit, translate, or submit the letter of reference. We will require you to affirm in your application that you have not done so.
