Programs

As a strategy to create long-lasting partnerships and to increase organizational capacity in the community, the IUPUI Office of Neighborhood Partnerships (ONP) has developed key scholarship and fellowship-based programming to address community needs. The current programs are:

• Fugate Scholars
  
  This scholarship began in the October of 2006.  It is part of a larger Learning Communities Initiative at George Washington Community School (GWCS). College students implement various college preparatory curricula to student’s grades 5 – 12 at the school or at various sites where students will matriculate to GWCS. IUPUI students and students from other college serve as Service Scholars.
  
  
• Community Partner Scholars
  
  This program serves as an IUPUI campus liaison to the Indianapolis community.  The Community Partner Scholars will engage in activities to assist community partners in meeting their missions while serving as student advocates for civic engagement on the IUPUI campus.   Community partner sites are chosen based on their established relationship with IUPUI and their involvement in supporting the campus civic engagement mission.
  
  
  
• Faculty Community Fellows (in partnership with the Office of Service Learning)
  
  To create an impact in the GINI goal areas, the IUPUI Center for Service and Learning committed to reallocating dollars for faculty engagement in the Near Westside community.  As a result, 5 Faculty Community Fellowships were awarded for the 2008 – 2009 academic year.
