Community service award

Kimmy Foundation Community Service Professional Award 

Each spring, two DU graduating seniors are recognized with awards of up to $5,000 for their outstanding commitment to community service and their future contributions to society via community service/engagement. If you’ve made a difference, don’t miss your chance. It’s not too soon to start thinking about what you’ll share! 

Please note: The award amount will depend on the student's level of unmet financial need. If a student's unmet need is less than $5,000, the award will be equal to that amount. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid (finaid@du.edu) to inquire about their total unmet need and the possibility of applying the award to their financial aid package.

Applications are due by 9 am on April 13th. 

Apply here!
