The Stride Rite Undergraduate Scholars Program
The Stride Rite Community Service program’s mission is to support student commitment to human service, by making it possible for diverse students of all backgrounds to take leadership roles in public service, and by providing supplemental training in leadership development and public service skills. Details about the program are in the table below! Scholarships are awarded to low-income, undergraduate students to support a consistent, year-round commitment to service.  Any rising sophomore, junior or senior who is Federal Work Study Eligible, or who is from a low-income background is welcome to apply.

Contact Ariel Harms with questions about eligibility.
