New Dickinson Plan to Encourage Public Service

Inside Higher Ed Quick Take

June 29, 2009


Dickinson College is introducing a new fellowship program to encourage public service and allow students to take a "gap year" (or years) between high school and college. Students apply as high school seniors and, if admitted, can defer enrollment for one to four academic years. For every year that they spend in public service, they earn a $10,000 credit toward expenses at the college.
