The Communiversity program provides 195 hours of graduate student assistance to help a community-based nonprofit organization or government agency with a specific project.
Priority is given to groups serving diverse communities.
Agencies or organizations receiving assistance are responsible for selecting a student to work with from a pool of applicants, and supervising the student in completing their work. Student assistants may be asked to undertake an entire project, or complete a portion of a larger project. About 25 Communiversity projects are funded each year. Applications are due June 28 for fall semester 2001 assistantships, and November 16 for spring semester 2002 assistantships.
