St. John Fisher College
Service Scholar Mission Statement

The Service Scholarship program offers students an opportunity for service in the context of service learning. We partner with individals with a clear need and in communities where resources to provide services are scarce. The program encourages person-to-person interaction with the goal of emphazing with and getting to know the poor and needy, appreciating who they are and what they need and do, and serving their needs within our ability. Service learning is supported in the classroom through ongoing, connected, challenging and contextual reflection.

At the end of the program our aim is that studens will have a developed a pattern of service and giving not only of time but of self.
