Mary's Scholarship for Homelessness Awareness and Advocacy Endowed Scholarship

Mary’s Scholarship for Homelessness Awareness and Advocacy Endowed Scholarship was established in 2012 by Mary L. Bauer, MA ’90. The purpose of the fund is to provide scholarships for undergraduate or graduate students in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences with a demonstrated interest in homelessness awareness or advocacy. Applicants must submit documentation of participation in an approved service project which should include an outline of the project’s purpose. Applicants must also submit an essay explaining how this experience changed how they think about homelessness. Acceptable service projects may be chosen from a variety of activities focused on homelessness, including but not limited to: public service, volunteering, research work, or international aid work. Recipients may be enrolled full-time or part-time and may be in-state or out-of-state students, including international students who are not U.S. citizens.
