The Public Service Center is committed to raising funds for those who need it. Please share your financial aid status with us to help us make this happen.

Note: 65% of undergraduates receive some form of financial aid.

In order to make this role accessible to students engaging in their service, students who meet the need based criteria for the Haas Leader Program are eligible to apply for financial support through this application. If you are not Work Study Eligible, you will likely not meet the minimum criteria to be considered for the award.
We will make every effort to allocate funds as equitably as possible, but cannot guarantee that every student will receive an award.

Please limit your answers to 250 words for each question.

In a single essay, not to exceed 600 words or two double-spaced pages, respond to the following prompts:

What qualities, qualifications, or experience do you have that speak to your ability to fulfill the role of a Break Leader?
What draws you to engage with the Alternative Breaks program?

You may frame your essay as describing a particular social justice issue you have engaged with or would like to engage with (you may speak about the trip you are most interested in leading). Include what motivates your engagement with this particular issue, and why you would choose (or have chosen) to work for social change in this particular way.

For security purposes, do not include any private information in this form such as credit card, social security numbers, or private health information.
