Public Service Research Funding

The Haas Center For Public Service sponsors several campus programs offering funding to students who integrate community service into their research projects.

Community-Based Research Fellows Program

This program brings together teams of students, faculty and community members to engage collaboratively in research that solves pressing community problems or effects social change. Students receive summer fellowship stipends or are paid as researchers during the academic year. Ideally, student fellows participating in this program will go on to apply for Haas fellowships or other undergraduate research grant opportunities.

Public Service Scholars Program

The Public Service Scholars Program (PSSP) was established in 1994. It was designed for students wishing to connect public service, their academic work and research interests through an honors thesis. Students admitted to the program participate in PSSP during their senior year concurrently with the honors program in their major academic department or program.

The yearlong program is committed to supporting students in writing an honors thesis that meets high standards of academic rigor. It supports students in making the results of the thesis useful to a specific community, organization, or available for the public interest. Students from all majors are encouraged to consider this opportunity.
