Intelink Law Group has committed to provide $100,000 in legal funding per year to help startups reduce the costs of legal services for founders who are young alumni, postdocs, or students.

The Intelink Law Group legal funds program is open to the following regardless of academic department and/or campus incubator affiliation:

** Current UC San Diego undergraduate students
** Current UC San Diego graduate students
** Current UC San Diego postdoctoral fellows and those who have completed their term on campus within the last year
** UC San Diego Alumni
** Current UC San Diego faculty (note priority will be given to students, postdoctoral fellows, and alumni)

Distribution of legal funding is managed by the Office of Innovation and Commercialization through a rolling application and review process. A recommendation for funding via the Verification and Support Form (https://bit.ly/LegalFundSupportVerificationForm) is required for all applications. Examples of qualified individuals to provide this Verification and Support Form include, but are not limited to:

** Incubator/Accelerator Program Administrators
** Faculty Advisors
** Mentors

Funding is distributed on a rolling basis throughout the year until all available funding is allocated and funding is provided on 1:1 matching basis.

All funding allocations require approval from Intelink Law Group to confirm their ability to perform the work proposed in the funding request.
