The Midwest Campus Compact Citizen-Scholar (M3C) Fellows Program is a program designed to integrate education with civic engagement. The program strives to develop a peer network and provide support that enables students to respond effectively to local community issues.

Students who are involved in this program will receive a financial award to use toward tuition, or federally funded student loans, in return for community service.

The M3C Fellows are a team of primarily first-year students committed to community service and leadership development. Students accepted into this program are asked to complete the following:

• Serve 300 hours in the Greater Green Bay Area Community and in their home communities as AmeriCorps Citizen-Scholar Fellows (hours requirement met through after-school tutoring at local elementary schools, Emerging Leaders workshops and meetings, independent service, and training sessions).
• Recruit at least 5 volunteers to serve in non-profit (including faith-based) organizations to improve the well being of the community.

In return for their service in the program, M3C Fellows receive:

• $1,000 AmeriCorps education award
• Federal Work-Study pay for time spent tutoring
• The opportunity to be part of a dynamic team of first-year students and LSE staff
• The opportunity to apply for a partial scholarship for winter or Spring Break Service TRIPS, which would count toward meeting the required 300 hours of service.
