The Community Service  Scholarship Program (CSSP) was  established to provide funds to  financially assist students who
have been placed with nonprofit  agencies throughout the Fresno area.   Assignments in the CSSP are structured to relate to a student’s academic major. In order to provide enough time for a “real world” experience, each student performs an assignment of 150 hours with his or her agency.  Upon completion of their assignments,  students earn three units of academic credit and a
$1,500 scholarship.

For more information on the Community Service  Scholarships program, contact Aleta Wolfe, Career  Experience Counselor in Career Services, at:  (559) 278-2381.

American Humanics Management Institute Preparing Students For Non-Profit Careers

Fresno State’s American Humanics Program is available for students of all majors who seek careers serving  others. Each year, the  students in the program are required to attend a three-day, intensive learning  experience in Kansas City, MO as the capstone of their coursework. It is part of the requirement to graduate with the AH Certificate and  eventually find a job as a director of a nonprofit service agency. This year the program director raised enough funds to send 15 of the 19 students to the seminar, but his funds fell short by some $4,000.  Together with Friends for Civic
Engagement, the Parents  Association paid for the  remaining 4 students to attend the seminar.
