Bluefield College is one of only 75 schools in the nation that offers the AmeriCorps Bonner Leader Program. The mission of the Bonner Leader Program is to transform the lives of students and members, the life of their campuses, local communities, and the world, through service and leadership. This prestigious scholarship program is available to only FOUR students each academic year. Students who are accepted into the program will be required to complete 900 hours of community service over a two-year period. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a $2,362.50 educational award to be used toward college expenses. Not only does the program provide financial benefits, but it provides academic and leadership opportunities as well. Students who participate will begin to explore deep social issues that effect the world we live in each and every day. They will have hands-on experiences at their service sites of choice, which often times prepares them for the work-force as well. The benefits for the students and the community are endless! Join the Bonner Leader movement and become a part of something bigger than yourselves!
