Bonner Scholars who enter the program as first-year students are required to complete two summers of service. Bonners who join after this point are required to complete one summer of service, though funding may be available for two summers of service. Summer service can provide opportunities to build professional skills, apply knowledge gained through coursework, discern interests, build networks, and/or explore new places.
Unlike service during the academic year, you may be paid for your summer service, but you must let your community partner know that you will also receive funding through the Bonner Scholars Program.
