Applications for the Carlson Civic Fellowship and the Munro Public Service Fellowship are due on Friday, November 4th at 5PM. Both fellowships are administered through the Carlson Leadership and Public Service Center, and open to all undergraduate students at the UW.
As a Carlson Civic Fellow, each recipient will make a commitment to serve a community-based organization from January to June 2012. Fellows will work an average of 10 hours each week on a project designed to meet existing needs within their community organization; ideally these projects will also engage other college students in public service, through service-learning, one-day service projects, and community events. Candidates selected to be a Carlson Civic Fellow will be enrolled in a leadership development seminar and supported with a $2000 scholarship (paid upon the completion of fellowship requirements). This scholarship is intended to free students from work commitments and provide the time needed to work in partnership with the community.
The Sterling and Gene Munro Public Service Fellowship is meant to encourage a life-long commitment to public service by providing outstanding undergraduates with the opportunity to explore their potential for 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. Munro fellows will be selected by December 2011 and be awarded their fellowship during the Winter and Spring quarters of 2012. The total award amount will range from $2000 to $4000, depending on the number of fellows selected.
Benefits of the Fellowships:
- Join a cohort of other student leaders with a commitment to working in community.
- Personal advising and leadership development training from experienced educators.
- Academic course content that ties community-work to academic topics/themes.
- Guidance and advice on leveraging hands-on experiences to launch post-UW goals (employment or graduate school).
- Financial support to put toward your educational expenses or use to advance community-based projects.

Critical Language and Boren scholarship information session tomorrow, Thursday 10/20, 3:30, MGH 171
The UW Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards will be providing information sessions for undergraduate students interested in these opportunities to help orient them to the programs and application processes:
The Critical Language Scholarship Program (http://clscholarship.org/): this summer program provides fully-funded eight to ten week group-based intensive language instruction and extensive cultural enrichment experiences held overseas at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels of Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla/Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Turkish, and Urdu. Eligibility details and language levels and prerequisites are explained at http://clscholarship.org/applicants.htm.
Applications are now available online, and the national deadline is November 15, 2011.
The Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Program (http://borenawards.org/boren_scholarship) provides up to $20,000 for US undergraduate students to study abroad in areas of the world that are critical to US interests and underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The countries of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded. Most languages are supported, except those of Western Europe. Boren Scholarships are funded by the National Security Education Program (NSEP), which focuses on geographic areas, languages, and fields of study deemed critical to U.S. national security. Applicants should identify how their study abroad program, as well as their future academic and career goals, will contribute to U.S. national security, broadly defined. NSEP draws on a broad definition of national security, recognizing that the scope of national security has expanded to include not only the traditional concerns of protecting and promoting American well-being, but also the challenges of global society, including sustainable development, environmental degradation, global disease and hunger, population growth and migration, and economic competitiveness. Receipt of this scholarship does incur a government service requirement, which for many students provides a valuable foot in the federal employment door.
Undergraduate applicants must apply through UW to be considered for the Boren Undergraduate Scholarship Program. UW's campus deadline for undergraduate applicants at all three campuses is January 11, 2012 for study abroad programs during the 2012-13 academic year.
Both programs are also open to graduate students. CLS processes are identical for both undergraduate and graduate applicants. Boren Graduate Fellowship details are at http://borenawards.org/boren_fellowship. There is no Boren campus application process at the graduate level; the national deadline for the Boren Graduate Fellowship is January 31, 2012. Helene Obradovich in the Graduate School Office of Fellowships & Awards is the point of contact for graduate students interested in this program (helene@uw.edu).
- Tomorrow, Thursday, October 20, 3:30-5:00pm in MGH 171 (will cover both CLS & Boren)
