Partners for Campus – Community Engagement (PCCE) is pleased to announce the release of the Civic Innovation Scholars application for the 2023 fall semester – the 2024 spring semester.
Applications are due October 13, 2023. PCCE will award Civic Innovation Scholarships, at $1,000 each, to all selected applicants.
PCCE is specifically looking for projects that focus on equity in these categories: race, voting, and climate.
The purpose of Civic Innovation Scholarships is to encourage and support the civic innovations of the next generation of undergraduate leaders. This scholarship program is open to students who have innovative ideas for addressing local civic problems, either on campus or in the local community. Our goal is to create a diverse cohort of creative student civic leaders from across New York and Pennsylvania who are inspired to strengthen our democracy through civic and community engagement.
If awarded;
Deliverables include:
a) A brief written description of the project and what was accomplished.
b) A video of the project including lessons learned, next steps, accomplishments of the project etc. PCCE will use the deliverables to promote the success of the project.
