Call for Nominations: W.K. Kellogg Foundation Community Engagement Scholarship Awards and C. Peter Magrath Community Engagement Scholarship Award

Apply now for the 2016 Community-University Engagement Awards. Since 2006, the Engagement Scholarship Consortium (ESC) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, have partnered to recognize the outstanding community-university engagement scholarship work of four-year public universities.

The Community-University Engagement Awards Program includes the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Community Engagement Scholarship Awards and the C. Peter Magrath Community Engagement Scholarship Award. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation Community Engagement Scholarship Awards are given to the winners of each of four regional competitions and are presented annually during the ESC Annual Conference, this year in Omaha, Nebraska. Each recipient of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Community Engagement Scholarship Award goes on to compete for the C. Peter Magrath Community Engagement Scholarship Award which is presented during the APLU Annual Meeting, this year in Austin, Texas.

The Community-University Engagement Awards Program recognizes colleges and universities that have redesigned their learning, discovery, and engagement missions to become even more involved with their communities.
