Applications invited for Service-Learning Fellows Program

The Office of Engagement is seeking applications from faculty and graduate students for its Service-Learning Fellows Program.

The Service-Learning Fellows Program is designed to expand and institutionalize service-learning into the academic fabric of Purdue by fostering the development of service-learning academic courses and curricula, projects, and scholarly pursuits in engagement by Purdue faculty and graduate students.
 
This year, in partnership with the United Way, six community partners have been invited to submit project proposals seeking support from a variety of different disciplines. Faculty and graduate students are invited to submit applications for service-learning courses relevant to these projects. Up to $4,000 is available per project. Preference will be given to applications that demonstrate long-term, sustainable collaboration with the community partner organization and Purdue. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply as interdisciplinary teams.

The application and guidelines for the Service-Learning Fellows program can be found at www.purdue.edu/engagement. Applications must be submitted online by April 20. 

Inquiries may be directed to Lindsey Payne, director of service-learning in the Office of Engagement, at paynel@purdue.edu.
