Scholarships for Service
During the fall/spring semester and also during summer, if you are engaged in service work in Rhode Island and eligible for work study you could qualify for an additional $1000 in federal scholarship funding. Scholarships for Service is an Americorps program that recognizes students who are engaged in community work. To be eligible you must perform 300 hours of community service in one year or in three to four months during the summer. Your work-study hours can be counted toward this total. To participate you will need to fill out a short application, which may be submitted with your federal off-campus work study application. You will also be asked to attend a short orientation meeting. For more information, download an information sheet and an application. If you have questions please contact Claudia DeCesare at 863-3676.
