Jenzabar Foundation Invites Nominations for University Student Leadership Awards in Community Service

The Jenzabar Foundation has opened the nomination process for its fifth annual Student Leadership Awards, which recognize student groups that have made a difference in the world through service and philanthropic activities at the local, national, and international levels.

The foundation, which seeks to foster a culture of service and to educate and inspire future generations to create a better world, has provided funding to more than five hundred colleges, universities, and student-led campus groups through the student leadership awards and other grant programs.

The awards will honor ten student-led campus groups or activities that have made a significant impact beyond their own institution. Nominations are open for students enrolled in any accredited institution of higher education.

Nominations are invited from individuals, institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, and religious organizations. Self-nominations from students for community service or humanitarian efforts performed during the 2010-11 or 2011-12 academic years are also eligible. Each award includes a $5,000 grant to support the student or group's future humanitarian endeavors

The first step in the submission process is joining the online Jenzabar Foundation Community Network; please use referral code SLA2012. Once registered, applicants will be advised of the submission procedure.
