Published on Leave a comment on The Knapp Fellowship for Entrepreneurial Service-Learning (Applications Due Jan 30, 2017)

Please circulate Knapp Fellowship applications widely to students! Undergraduate or graduate students selected as Knapp Fellows design and implement entrepreneurial service-learning projects that make a significant difference in the lives of others. Selected Knapp Fellows receive professional development on community engaged work, and are advised by a faculty member advisor as a content expert (faculty advisors also receive a small stipend). One or more Knapp Fellowships are awarded each year, ranging from $2,500 to $10,000.

 

The Knapp Fellowships program includes two components: a scholarly research portion to inform the project, and the design and implementation of the entrepreneurial service-learning project itself. Fellowship activities are conducted over the coming academic year.

 

For further information, please contact Wendy Wagner at the Nashman Center: wagnerw@gwu.edu.
