National Community Scholars Program

As part of the University of Michigan School of Social Work, we provide funded summer internships with community agencies in:

• Mississippi Delta, an area rich with diversity and history known for its unique role in the civil rights movement;
• Central Appalachia, an area in the mountains and coalfields of eastern Kentucky known for its cultural tradition of music and song; and
• San Francisco Bay Area, a culturally diverse urban area with a dense concentration of community youth groups.

Each scholar receives information on courses in organizing, planning, and advocacy, and a stipend for travel and living expenses, and advising for courses in organizing, planning, advocacy, and research.
