Scholarship applications are still being accepted for the 2003 Institute on Philanthropy and Voluntary Service, one of the premier summer programs for undergraduate students interested in volunteerism and careers in the nonprofit sector.  The deadline for applying is March 15, 2003. 

Please share this information with students on your campus who may be interested in this exciting opportunity.  Students interested in the learning more about the program can visit www.ipvs.org  where detailed information and online applications are available.  In addition, I would be happy to mail or email a brochure that can be shared with students.

The Institute is an intensive six-week residential program for college undergraduates from across the nation.  During the summer, approximately 35 students take two courses on the history and ethics of philanthropy and volunteerism worth 6 hours of academic credit from Indiana University.  Students also hold internships with nonprofit organizations, attend presentations by leading figures from the nonprofit sector and participate in a variety of service projects.  Over half of the students accepted to the program will receive a full or partial scholarship. 

The Institute is sponsored by The Fund for American Studies and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University and will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 6 – July 19, 2003.

If you have any questions about the program or application process, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [log in to unmask] or toll free at 1-800-741-6964
