Become a Scholar

The Service Learning Scholars program is based off the 2-1-1 approach:

 

Red Circle Number 2

Service Learning Classes

SL Scholars will take at least two courses that are designated “SL” and earn a B or higher in these courses. They must finish all courses at least one semester before their graduation.

 

Red Circle Number 1

Independent Project

SL Scholars will complete an independent service project related to their major. Students who have taken three or more SL courses will develop projects requiring 25 hours of service, and students who have taken two courses will develop projects          requiring 50 hours of service. Students’ independent service projects will need approval from the Director of Service Learning.

 

Red Circle Number 1

Service Learning Portfolio

In their senior year, SL Scholars will submit a portfolio of their work. It will include a 2 – 3 page reflective cover letter about what they have learned from their service project and coursework and example assignments from each of their Service Learning Courses.
