Apply for the Social Science Institute’s Civic Innovation Scholarship Opportunity!

What’s going on?
Campus Compact of New York and Pennsylvania (CCNYPA) has announced the release of the Civic Innovation Scholarship Application for the Spring 2022 Semester. The Nexus Center’s Social Science Research Institute is facilitating $500 scholarship applications for Campus Compact Civic Innovation Scholars.

​The purpose of Civic Innovation Scholars is to encourage and support the civic imagination 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.

CCNYPA is specifically looking for projects that focus on equity in these categories:

 • Race

 • Voting

 • Climate

Eligibility (The Applicant Must Be):
1 — Pell grant eligible or Federal Work Study qualified.
2 — A current undergraduate student at a CCNYPA member institution (FSC is a member).
3 — Identify an on-campus faculty or staff mentor with whom the applicant commits to meeting at least three times over the course of the Spring 2022 semester. (Note: Eva Pearson will serve as mentor unless student requests a different faculty member)
