A service-learning scholarship opportunity through a partnership between the Honors College and the Bonner Foundation of Princeton, NJ is offered to qualified candidates.   The Bonner Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support higher education and community service by improving the lives of individuals and communities.  The program provides Honors students with a strong commitment to serve others, the benefit of a $1,000 education voucher from the AmeriCorps agency for 300 hours of verified community service.

Students in the Bonner Program use their leadership skills to make a difference in the civic life of our community and promote a stronger quality of life for others. Bonners tutor the disadvantaged, fight illiteracy, improve health services, and create and sustain awareness of the plight of those less fortunate. 

In addition to their primary venue, Bonners participate throughout the year in service opportunities through the Honors curriculum.  Training and enrichment are available through the Office for Service-Learning & Volunteer Programs, and the students' various co-curricular commitments on campus.  Qualified candidates may serve one but not more than two terms in the program during their undergraduate career.
