What Is Service-Learning?
Service-learning is a credit-bearing, educational experience in which students participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility.

M3C Fellowship Program
The M3C Fellowship Program is an initiative that creates opportunities for students to work together as agents of civic change in their local communities and on their campuses. IPFW is one of only six universities in the state (and the only Purdue campus) that participates in this AmeriCorps Education Award program.
Students chosen for the program receive a $1,000 award to use toward educational expenses in return for 300 hours of community service. Selected students have demonstrated academic potential as well as an interest in service and civic engagement activities.
IPFW is pleased to offer this opportunity to our students and proud of the contributions they are making to our community. Members of our first class of M3C fellows are shown below:
