Overview
Description
Supports students taking on an internship, community-based research activity, or a community service project that advances social justice. This award commemorates Trinity anthropology professor John Donahue’s lifelong commitment to social justice.
During the academic year, it allows students to earn money by dedicating their time to social justice work rather than taking on part-time paid work on campus or in private businesses. During the summer, it enables students to earn needed income and defray living expenses as they undertake community projects in lieu of finding summer jobs. This work can take place locally in San Antonio or elsewhere in the United States or abroad.
Awards are made three times throughout the year to provide students $1,500 to work 150 hours during fall or spring semester, or $4,000 to work full-time during the summer. Priority is given to students who have not previously been awarded this scholarship. Availability of this scholarship is dependent upon funding.
