MobileServe, a national leader in volunteer engagement software, announced a new
collaboration with Warrick Dunn Charities, Inc. (WDC) today to connect compassionate students
with $100,000 in scholarship awards through their Hearts for Community Service Scholarship
program.
“Students have an incredible impact in our communities every day, effecting change in hopes of
creating a better future for those around them,” says Christopher Head, CEO of
MobileServe. “When organizations like Warrick Dunn Charities step up to recognize those
efforts, they reinforce all the right lessons in civic engagement that help build engaged global
citizens.”
This collaborative effort provides encouragement far beyond individual scholarship
recipients. Students pursuing a WDC Hearts for Community Service Scholarship have a
heightened motivation to maximize their civic engagement, and applicants will benefit
individually from the personal growth that comes from increased volunteering. This impact
becomes amplified when many civic minded students help organize larger service events that, in turn, introduce others to the benefits of volunteering. All the while, students are building life
skills while developing social and emotional skills to help them interact.
“Our motto is simple, ‘help those who help others,’ and our Hearts for Community Service
Scholarship program does just that by providing merit-based awards to individuals who are
pursuing higher education, and have shown dedication to the betterment of their communities,”
said WDC’s Executive Director, Whitney Jackson. “Giving back creates a kinder, more
compassionate world for all. It builds a sense of purpose, belonging, and a place where everyone can grow and thrive. We are thankful for the continued support of the American Opportunity Foundation in our programmatic efforts, and we look forward to the lasting impact that our twenty 2022-2023 scholarship recipients will have on their communities and beyond.”
Applications for Warrick Dunn Charities, Inc.’s Hearts for Community Service Scholarship
program will be accepted between June 15th and July 31st. To find out more about the
scholarship program or to apply, please visit their website.
