Franklin & Marshall College

Planning your Community and Public Service (CPS) Marshall Project:

The John Marshall Fellows Program supports a limited number of students who, during their first year at Franklin & Marshall, have demonstrated unusual motivation, spirit of achievement and independence of thought. The program was created on the premise that bright, curious minds flourish best when challenged in an environment that gives highest priority to individual interests and abilities. Each John Marshall Fellow is eligible to apply for a research/travel grant to enhance the Fellow’s ability to engage in unique and personal academic pursuits, for example, supporting an on-campus research project, doing research in another country, presenting research at a professional conference, or completing a public service project. Fellows also receive special opportunities for excursions and on-campus activities.

The methodology for a CPS Marshall project must be developed with a faculty advisor before the application is submitted so that a coherent proposal can be presented.

Service should be one of the central components of a CPS Marshall. The service should be under the auspices of a recognized and respected agency, foundation or reputable group. The student should have some demonstrable ability and expertise to carry out the service project. The student must provide adequate background about the proposed agency, foundation or group.

The student should have evidence of prior commitment to the service activity, including class work, volunteer work and/or internship experiences.

Marshall Application Deadlines:

There are five rolling deadlines for submitting your application. All applications must be submitted by 4 pm on one of dates listed.
