A prize of two thousand dollars will be awarded to one or more college or university students involved in public service. The award is meant to enable the student to gain practical experience in public service by taking a no-pay or low-pay job or internship during a summer or other term. Preference will be given applicants who have already found such a position, but who require additional funds.
APPLICANT'S QUALIFICATIONS
Only those applicants satisfying the following criteria will be considered:
• undergraduate or graduate student in an accredited college or university;
• seeking support for an internship in public service, not general support;
• demonstrated public service activity -- past, present and/or future;
• financial need will be taken into consideration.
HOW TO APPLY:
Applicants should send a resume together with an essay describing short- and long-term goals -- including the need for funds -- together with three letters of reference, at least one from a faculty member.
PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT ACCEPT E-MAIL APPLICATIONS and WE DO NOT TRACK INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS. If an applicant requires assurance that the application has been received, please do that through a mail tracking service.
