Application due date correction: Apply for the Morse Scholarship by April 3

Submitted by Cailin Riley

Do you want to make the world a better place? Why not start this summer? K-State Libraries is accepting applications for the 2020 Marjorie J. and Richard L.D. Morse Family and Community Public Policy Scholarship.

The $3,000 scholarship provides funds to support a project or internship that gives a student the experience of working in community, state or federal government, or providing service in the nonprofit sector.

The project or internship must encourage the development of public policy that improves the quality of family and community life. Applications will be accepted until April 3.

Since 2001, the scholarship has awarded more than $65,000 to 22 undergraduates who were interested in public policy and community service and chose to put those passions to work for the benefit of others.

Past recipients:

  • Traveled to Nepal to support Tripur Kinder Academy, a private, English language school funded by a nonprofit.
  • Created a bookmobile to bolster early childhood literacy in northeastern Kansas.
  • Taught nutrition and biology to Wilson, Kansas, youth by engaging them with a community garden.
