Partners for Campus – Community Engagement (PCCE) is pleased to announce the release of the Civic Innovation Scholars application for the 2022 fall semester – the 2023 spring semester. Applications are due September 10, 2022 at 12:00 noon. PCCE will award Civic Innovation Scholarships, at $1,000 each, to all selected applicants.

PCCE is specifically looking for projects that focus on equity in these categories: race, voting, and climate.

The purpose of Civic Innovation Scholarships is to encourage and support the civic innovations of the next generation of undergraduate leaders. This scholarship program is open to students who have innovative ideas for addressing local civic problems, either on campus or in the local community. Our goal is to create a diverse cohort of creative student civic leaders from across New York and Pennsylvania who are inspired to strengthen our democracy through civic and community engagement.
