Greenfield Fellowship
The Greenfield Fellowship was established by Michael Greenfield, professor emeritus at the Washington University School of Law. An expert in commercial and consumer law, Professor Greenfield taught at WashU from 1969 to 2022. He created the fellowship to enable a WashU Law student to complete a summer internship at NCLC each year.
Sandip J. Gupta Memorial Legal Fellowship
Sandip J. Gupta (1986-2025) was the Director of Data Services and Market Pricing Intelligence for Compass Professional Health Services (now part of Alight Solutions), a health care cost containment company. He and his team analyzed millions of insurance claims to determine reasonable medical charges for different services and providers. Sandip then applied his knowledge as an expert witness in medical trials, evaluating the reasonability of charges to patients. Steven Brill’s critical review of health care in Bitter Pill was a rallying call for Sandip’s work, as discussed in Sandip’s final publication.
Sandip passed away suddenly at age 38. The fellowship will continue his legacy through an annual summer internship awarded to a law student who demonstrates an interest in public interest law. It is the hope of the Gupta family that this Fellowship will provide inspiration to law students concerned about the burden of medical debt to follow in Sandip’s footsteps and work to make health care affordable for all Americans.
Hobbs Fellowship
Launched in 2014, this fellowship is named in honor of Robert “Bob” Hobbs, an expert in fair debt collection law, who worked as an advocate and deputy director at NCLC for 42 years. NCLC awards the fellowship annually to a student who has demonstrated a passion for, and commitment to, consumer advocacy and the pursuit of a public interest career. In addition to a paid summer internship, the fellowship recipient also receives travel expenses and registration for NCLC’s national Consumer Rights Litigation Conference, held annually each fall.
Rossman Fellowship
NCLC created the Rossman Fellowship in 2023 to mark the retirement of Stuart Rossman, who served as NCLC’s director of litigation for 24 years. He was committed to inspiring a new generation of consumer lawyers and co-directed NCLC’s Summer Intern Program. Funded by generous supporters of NCLC’s Campaign for the Future, the fellowship is awarded annually to a rising third-year law student to learn consumer law through a summer internship at NCLC.
