Three to four
substantial monetary awards will be granted to students of junior
or senior class standing who have made arrangements to intern with
a social change non-profit organization with a cultural, social, or
economically liberal or progressive mission. It is anticipated that
approximately 75% will be provided as financial support while the
student participates in an eight to ten week summer internship.
Additional funds will be awarded as a scholarship during fall term
for tuition upon completion of award requirements. All awards
are dependent upon the availability of funds at the time of the
award.
The awards committee is looking for three to four students with a
passion for, and commitment to, obtaining leadership skills for
social change. Students selected for this award will demonstrate a
commitment to inclusion, social change, justice, equal opportunity,
and equity.
Applications are due in the office of the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts by 5:00pm March 14th, 2008.
