About This Opportunity

The Sheldon E. and Joan S. Smith Scholarship for Public Service was established by Grant '81 and Melissa (Smith) '80, '85 MPA Peacor to provide assistance to deserving junior or senior year students majoring in political science who are interested in pursuing a career in public service at the federal, state, or local level. The scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate both academic excellence and commitment to community service. Recipients must maintain a GPA of at least 3.0, and preference is given to students with active involvement in volunteer work at the University or in their community, particularly those with interests in public policy. This scholarship supports students who are dedicated to making a difference through public service careers in government at any level.
