To support increasing student interest and participation in public service, especially foreign service and/or globally focused civil service internships, awards will be given to students who secure experiential learning opportunities during summer or semester abroad programs.
Students will be given a $3,000-$5,000 internship award for programs that directly relate to public service, with preference for foreign or civil service broadly conceived.
Recipients will be able to apply their work experience to myriad endeavors and will gain a distinguished advantage amongst their peers because of their direct exposure to global issues.
Students will submit an application and be selected by a committee comprised of LCWA faculty. The selection committee will recommend award winners to the Dean of LCWA, who will make the final selections.
