About PIFP

Established in 1998, the Walter A. Lucas ‘88 Public Interest Fellowship Program (PIFP) of Villanova Law is a student-run, nonprofit organization that provides financial support to law students who commit their summers to public interest legal work. PIFP Fellows work in these otherwise unpaid positions 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.
