Public Service Summer Fellowships‏

The Carolina Center for Public Service is accepting applications for 2008 Summer Fellowships in public service or social entrepreneurship through Friday, Feb. 1 at 5 p.m.

Students selected for fellowships work with a community partner and faculty mentor to address identified needs in NC through a Robert E. Bryan Fellowship or anywhere in the world through a UNC Entrepreneurial Public Service Fellowship.

Any returning, full-time undergraduate or graduate student enrolled at UNC-Chapel Hill is eligible to apply for a fellowship. Proposals from undergraduate and graduate students are considered separately, and if possible, at least two fellowships from each program will go to undergraduates.

Each Fellow plans and works on a summer project with a community partner and a faculty mentor who is familiar with the Fellow's topic or geographic area. The idea for the project can be identified by students, faculty or the community, but the student must be responsible for the major planning and implementation of the project.

Fellows receive stipends of up to $3,000 to fund their projects. Faculty mentors receive stipends of $500 for supporting the students' work.

Detailed information about both fellowships and on-line application materials may be found on-line at
