HCMP Diversity Fellowship

HCMP is committed to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within our firm and within our legal community. As part of this commitment, we have offered a Diversity Fellowship Program for over 15 years. The Fellowship includes a salaried summer associate position ($3,000 per week) and a $15,000 scholarship to be applied toward tuition and expenses.
