IUI-Bonner Leader Program 2nd Year (Service Learning)

The Sam H. Jones Community Service Scholarship Program recognizes IUI students for previous service to their high school, campus, or community, and supports their continued involvement in educationally meaningful service, leadership, and social advocacy. The Sam H. Jones Bonner Leader Program will provide selected students an ongoing cohort intended to help them develop their interest and skills related to civic engagement and leadership.

Bonner Leaders are selected through a competitive process open to second-year students who are eligible for federal work-study awards. Applicants must meet regular admissions standards and have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Through the program each student will receive a $5,000 service based scholarship, renewable for three years that students remain eligible in the program.

Bonner Leaders agree to enroll in at least 12 credit hours per semester and participate in planned community service activities during the year.
