Community Scholars: National Community Scholars Program

Application Deadlines:

• Early Application: December 1
• Priority Application: February 1
• Final: March 1

The Community Scholars program engages on-campus students with a specialized interest in community change work. Community Scholars follow one of two tracks: Community-Based Initiative (specialized focus on community change in Detroit) or National Community Scholars (specialized focus in national community change placements). On-Campus students are welcome to express an interest in both tracks; however, it is only possible to be accepted into one track.

As one of our Community Scholars Programs, the purpose of the National Community Scholars Program (NCS) is to prepare professionals for enabling young people and adult allies to create community change.

National Community Scholars will gain skills to organize groups for social action, plan programs at the local level, advocate for socially just policies, and develop community-based services.
