Service scholarships are offered to students who have demonstrated a willingness to volunteer in their communities as they work their way through school. You can earn a service scholarship for the work that you did while you were in high school, or you can earn a scholarship for work that you do while you are attending college.
Specific Organizations
Some service scholarships focus specifically on the work done by certain organizations or groups. For example, you could earn a scholarship from an organization that works with special needs children by volunteering in classrooms or day care facilities that are designed for special needs children. If you like to work with certain agencies, you should find out if they offer service based scholarships for volunteers. Many organizations offer these scholarships as a way to help train people who will be part of the organization after graduation.
Community Service Options
There are also service based scholarships that are designed to get students out into several areas of the community as volunteers. These scholarships stipulate that a student must perform a specific number of community service hours each semester to continue to receive scholarship funds. The scholarship committee will give students a list of acceptable service options and expect the students to establish a relationship with their chosen volunteer organization and perform the service on their own. Community service can range from picking up trash along city streets to answering phones in the reception offices of non-profit organizations. Many students choose a non-profit agency and donate a certain number of hours of work each week.
Working Within Your Major
Some service scholarships help students further their networking and skills within their chosen major as well as provide much-needed services within the community. Students can choose to perform community service in agencies or organizations that work in the field the student has chosen to study. These opportunities give students some real world experience that can further their studies and help them find better jobs when they are ready to begin their careers. Human resources students in particular tend to qualify for service scholarships and work for government agencies that provide social services to local residents.
