To all first year students:

If you have an interest social innovation, then please read on for an outstanding opportunity.

We are pleased to announce that the David Lingren Fellowship for Social Innovation will provide support to one Heinz College student during the 2011-2012 academic year based upon that student's skill level and demonstrated commitment to social innovation and/or social entrepreneurship. The total amount of the award is $2,500 to be distributed from September 2011 through May 2012.

The David Lingren Fellowship for Social Innovation was established in 2007 to support students who are dedicated to social innovation. Mr. Lingren is a graduate of the Tepper School who is committed to using social entrepreneurship to address many of the challenging issues facing society.

APPLICATION DETAILS:

Students who are interested in being considered for the Lingren Fellowship are required to submit a current resume and an essay of not more than three pages that discusses their commitment to social innovation and/or social entrepreneurship and how the Lingren Fellowship will help them put that commitment into action during their second year of study at the Heinz College.

Your application should also propose an idea for how you will use the Lingren Fellowship support to advance your commitment to social innovation, and your plan for putting that idea into action. Prior recipients of the Lingren Fellowship have used their support to research strategies for re-establishing a local food network in Southwestern Pennsylvania, to work with a local urban farming non-profit and to investigate the need for a comprehensive non-profit resource center in the Pittsburgh region.  Your idea might include researching a new social enterprise to fill a societal need or working with an existing social enterprise. The shape of the idea will be based on your interests, and this fellowship will help you to act on those ambitions.

Selection for the Lingren Fellowship will not affect current scholarship awards.

Applications are due to by Friday, April 15th, 2011 at 5 p.m. They can be submitted electronically to Natalia Pascal at npa...@andrew.cmu.edu.
