UNC HOMEPAGE
The Carolina Center for Public Service's spring 2002 public service grants,
awards and fellowships for University staff, faculty and students will feature
these two changes:
* The center has doubled the individual award amount for staff and faculty
grants. Staff and faculty can apply for grants of up to $10,000 from a pool of
$50,000.
* University units and student organizations engaged in outstanding public
service now are eligible to be nominated for the Office of the Provost Awards.
Public service grants
* Staff and faculty grants -- One-year grants of up to $10,000 will be
awarded from a pool of $50,000 to support public service projects in North
Carolina.
* Student organization grants -- One-year grants of up to $2,000 from a pool of
$10,000 to initiate or enhance public service projects.
Grant recipients will be selected according to five selection criteria:
significance, University engagement, feasibility, community partnership and
sustainability/lasting impact. Funds may be requested for any costs related to
the proposed public service project. Applications are due to the center by
March 8.
Public service awards
* Office of the Provost Awards -- These awards honor extraordinary
public service by a University unit or student organization. Up to three awards
of $2,500 each will be given. These awards are for discrete activities, not a
set of activities by a unit.
* Robert E. Bryan Awards -- These awards honor individual students, staff or
faculty for outstanding public service projects. Up to two awards of $2,500
each will be given to staff and faculty and up to two awards of $1,000 each
will be given to individual students who exemplify public service at its best.
Nominations are due to the center by March 8. Self-nominations are welcome.
Robert E. Bryan Fellowships
The Robert E. Bryan Fellowship Program is a service-learning program
sponsored by the APPLES Service-Learning Program and the center. "Academic Year
Fellowships" provide up to $1,500, and "Summer Fellowships" provide up to
$4,000 for self-designed, off-campus experiences in public service.
Applications are due to the APPLES office by Feb. 22.
