The Kernodle Center is encouraging students with interest in community service to explore the following opportunities for project funding:
Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Partnership Foundation
Each month, JRCPF offers a $1,000 service entrepreneur grant through its ServiceBook Monthly award. Student proposals should “represent the most innovative and promising ways to serve the community while applying what is learned in the classroom to these projects.”
Students wishing to be considered for the Carter Academic Service Entrepreneur award can get more information and apply through the ServiceBook web site (accessible by clicking the link to the upper right of this page). As with other CASE awards, students must register, log in and follow the links: Students > Submit Your Project.
Within the application, students should select “ServiceBook Monthly” under the “CASE Competition” drop-down list. The same grant criteria apply.
Clinton Global Initiative University
The CGI U Outstanding Commitments Awards, a potential source of funding for student service and activism projects, is now accepting applications through July 28, 2008. Later this year, CGI U will distribute 35 awards totaling $150,000. Awards will help recipients implement Commitments to Action in the areas of energy and climate change, global health, human rights and peace, and poverty alleviation.
CGI U is a new project of the Clinton Global Initiative seeking to create a community of university students taking action to address the world’s most pressing issues. Commitments to Action will be judged on sustainability, innovation, replication, impact and leveraging available resources.
