Description
Established in 2006, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation Community Engagement Scholarship Awards recognize four-year public universities that have made exemplary strides toward closer, more productive relationships with communities. Organized jointly by the Engagement Scholarship Consortium (ESC) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), the program recognizes university-community engagement through teaching and learning, discovery, and service.
Each year, four regional nominees are competitively selected from an international call for nominations. Awards are presented at the ESC Annual Conference, with funding supporting a short video about each partnership and conference travel expenses. Kellogg recipients also qualify as finalists for the C. Peter Magrath Community Engagement Scholarship Award. Since 2011, the program has additionally recognized a small number of nominees as Exemplary Projects for outstanding accomplishments.
