In 2004, President Clinton launched the Clinton School of Public Service, a (non-partisan) graduate program in the Univ of Arkansas system designed for people around the globe who are passionate about developing public service solutions in a world of need.
The Clinton School offers both a 100% Online Masters of Public Service, and an In-Person Masters of Public Service (with distinct scholarships available to admitted Bonner students & alumni!):
the in-person Masters of Public Service (MPS) degree
the 100% online Clinton School Online (CSO) Masters of Public Service degree for mid-career professionals (those who have had at least 3 years of professional experience – this can be perfect for Bonner Alumni who desire to work full-time and live anywhere in the world while pursuing their Masters degree).
The next MPS (in-person) cohort enrolls in August 2020, and can be perfect for current Bonner seniors/recent alums. The MPS application deadline is January 20, 2020.
The next CSO cohort enrolls in March 2020. The application deadline for the March 2020 CSO cohort has just passed (Dec 1), but for those in the Bonner Alumni Network, the Clinton School is happy to extend the CSO application deadline (through the month of December).
The Clinton School applications have no application fee, and do not require the GRE exam -- the Clinton School wants graduate education to be accessible to all who seek to serve the public good.
As a partnership with the Bonner network, the Clinton School will award at least $5,000 of merit-scholarship to either Clinton School Masters of Public Service degrees (MPS or CSO) for up to 5 Bonner Alumni who are admitted.
And in addition to merit-scholarships, the Clinton School also offers up to $5,000 of employer-match funding for the Clinton School Online (CSO) program (many employers offer continuing-education funds for their staff, and the ONLINE program will match up to $5,000 of funding that your employer commits to your CSO education).

The Clinton School looks forward to working with the Bonner network in furthering your career & global service! Start your application today!
