Summer Serviceship Program
The Summer Serviceship Program is a partially funded service internship that gives selected undergraduate students at Florida State University the opportunity to focus 8-12 weeks of their summer full-time on service to a nonprofit agency, and contributing to the solution of a community need. Participants will concentrate their service on a specific social need in a specific community locally, nationally or internationally. Selected applicants will receive a stipend for their participation in this program, which will vary from $3,500 - $4,500 depending on the length and location of service.
Congratulations Summer 2008 Serviceship recipients!
