Impact Fund’s Class Action Conference

NPLA is thrilled to offer law students a scholarship to attend Impact Fund's Class Action Conference in San Francisco from February 12-13, 2026. This conference focuses on civil rights and labor and employment class actions, and gathers about 375 public interest attorneys from private firms and nonprofit organizations across the country, legal academics, and law students, as well as numerous virtual attendees. Please see conference sponsors here to get a sense for the kinds of firms that attend.

The NPLA Scholarship will cover registration fees, flights, hotels, and Ubers/Lyfts to and from the airport. Scholarship recipients will be expected to cover the expenses for their meals and other incidental costs, though many meals throughout the conference will be provided by the conference. NPLA will book flights and hotels for students, and will reimburse ground transportation costs after the conference. Additionally, based on available accommodations, scholarship recipients may be (or will be) asked to share a hotel room.

Students who receive the scholarship must be able to attend the entire conference. 

Law students who are local to the Bay Area may apply for sponsorship to pay for conference registration fees, but are not eligible for hotel or ground transportation costs. 

Applications are DUE on Friday, January 9th at 11:59 PM PST.
