The
Sterling and Gene Munro Public Service Fellowship encourages life-long
commitment to public service by providing outstanding undergraduates
with the opportunity to explore their
potential through service and leadership in the community. Munro Public
Service Fellows are selected on the basis of a proposed public service
initiative and their commitment to community engagement. Made possible
through the support of the Henry
M. Jackson Foundation, the Fellowship is named for S.
Sterling Munro, Jr., the former top aide to the late Senator Henry M.
“Scoop” Jackson and Administrator of the Bonneville Power
Administration, and his wife, Gene, a lifelong public service
advocate. Munro Fellows will be selected in December of 2013 and will
be awarded the fellowship during the Winter and Spring quarters of 2014.
Award
amounts range from $2000 to $4000, depending on the number of fellows
selected. In addition to a monetary award, Munro Fellows are also
supported through workshops, and enrollment
in one or more of the Carlson Center’s Community Based Leadership
courses in winter and/or spring quarter. In addition, Munro Fellows
receive individualized coaching about their community involvement by
staff in the Carlson Center.
The application deadline for the 2014 Fellowship is 11:59PM on
Friday, November 8, 2013. Application instructions and Fellowship expectations can be found online at
