How Partners Get Involved

• Summer Internships: Scholars receive a service stipend towards tuition for their internship work, but the Bonner Foundation would like to work with your organization to see how this stipend could be supplemented. Most organizations offer additional wages, however, free or reduced housing, food, or transportation expenses could supplement their stipend as well.
  
• Become involved in the training curriculum: Each campus coordinates training's in both personal and skill development for Bonner Scholars. Partner organizations would be invited to participate in these trainings as well as asked to conduct trainings where applicable.
  
• Become involved in Bonner Alternative Break Projects: Most schools sponsor week long service projects outside their local community.
  
• Meetings and Retreats: The Bonner Foundation will host a meeting and a retreat with our Partners to gain input from you regarding ways in which to make the Partners Program successful and viable to your organization.
  
• Distribute materials: Both the Foundation and the scholar could act as a conduit for your materials to the Bonner Scholars Programs and students on the campuses.
  
• Recruit Bonner Scholars upon their graduation: Bonner Scholars graduate from college with a strong resume which demonstrates both their multi-service experiences as well as their advanced leadership skills.
  
• Recruit high school students or individuals with a GED to attend any of the 27 colleges participating in the Bonner Scholar Program.
