Outreach Scholarship W. K. Kellogg Foundation Engagement Awards and the C. Peter Magrath University/Community Engagement Award
The National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) and the Outreach Scholarship Partnership announce the Request for Applications for the
regional Outreach Scholarship W. K. Kellogg Foundation Engagement Awards and the C. Peter Magrath University/Community Engagement Award. Outreach/Engagement partnerships that are
featured in the applications should exemplify the description of engaged institutions found in the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities' report,
Returning to Our Roots: The Engaged Institution.
"By engagement, we refer to institutions that have redesigned their teaching, research, and extension and service functions to become even more sympathetically and productively
involved with their communities, however community may be defined. Embedded in the engagement ideal is a commitment to sharing and reciprocity. By engagement the Commission
envisions partnerships, two-way streets defined by mutual respect among the partners for what each brings to the table…We believe an engaged university can enrich the student
experience and help change the campus culture. Finally, the application of knowledge is a unique contribution our institutions can make to contemporary society."
