Upcoming Center Programs

SERVICE SCHOLAR APPLICATIONS OPEN

​

The Service Scholar Program is a four-year, comprehensive, co-curricular program. Service Scholars participate in individual and group service projects, attend regular meetings, engage in coursework tailored to each year in the program, and promote community participation among their peers. The program includes an annual $3,000 scholarship, which is automatically renewed each year, provided requirements are met.

Service Scholars will be affiliated with the Center for Leadership & Social Change, and participate in activities and events in the center. It is expected that Service Scholars will develop as effective leaders and exemplary citizens.

Application Information
High school graduating seniors with a distinguished record of community involvement and a strong desire to continue to learn through service are encouraged to apply. Competitive candidates have community involvement beyond the normal requirements for high school graduation or Florida Bright Futures scholarships, both in quantity and depth of service. A commitment that exhibits initiative and leadership will be given greater consideration.

Applications are due Monday, Feb. 17 at 5 p.m.
