Wesley Service Scholarship Application
The Wesley Service Scholarship (WSS) Program is for students who choose to take advantage of community service opportunities as a way to explore their vocation or life's calling. The WSS program honors John Wesley's commitment to the links between spirituality and service. In his words, "True faith cannot be hidden but will break out and show itself by good works." The WSS program hopes to motivate students to become engaged in their communities while in college and through that engagement, help them to understand where their passions and gifts intersect with the world's needs. Any student accepted to Simpson or in good standing as an enrolled student is eligible to apply.
Each Wesley Service Scholar will receive a stipend of $1,000 for the academic year ($500 per semester), credited to the student's account at the conclusion of each semester after completion of the scholarship requirements.
Wesley Service Scholars must complete the following requirements:
70 hours of verified service per academic year (we help you find service opportunities; a student may reapply each year)
Submit 1 reflection journal each semester in which you write about your service and what you are learning
Participate in 3 small group reflection meetings per semester in which you reflect on your experiences
Meet on-on-one with the program director each semester
Present at the Research and Creativity Symposium in the spring semester during the Service Poster Session
