Earn $1175 for 300 hours of community service

Sign up to complete 300 hours of community service during one calendar year through the Michigan Service Scholars (MSS) program, and you can earn a $1,175 AmeriCorps education award.

  • MSS  provides $400,000 annually in education awards state-wide to students attending Michigan Campus Compact member campuses through a grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
  • This program is very competitive; Davenport University receives just a few MSS positions each year.
  • Use your AmeriCorps education award for qualified educational purposes, including classes and qualified loans.
