Student Service Corps (SSC) is a program that promotes the growth of civic responsibility and a mindset of service among youth in the United States. SSC accomplishes this through two main components: 1) encouraging young people to serve their communities through government agencies and nonprofit organizations, and 2) promoting career choices in public service.
Students who contribute at least 100 service hours at a government agency — at any level of government — or a nonprofit organization are eligible to qualify for a public service fellowship. The fellowship will support opportunities for college students to intern at government or nonprofit organizations during the summer and will include a stipend of up to $5,000 to offset the costs of expenses of the internship/service opportunity or tuition. Students must be published in our student journal, Public Service Review, to be considered for a public service fellowship.
