Great Value Colleges believes that community service has the potential to enhance the value of a college education in profound ways. Community service helps build empathy and compassion and provides skills such as networking, organization, project management, team building, and problem solving — all skills that are essential in today’s workforce. Like internships, community service programs have become an important part of programs at colleges and universities. We here at Great Value Colleges would like to encourage this trend by awarding a $1500 Community Service Scholarship to students who show exceptional passion for community service and who’ve found concrete ways to enhance their education through service.
