Valparaiso University's Graduate School (VU), in partnership with Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC) and the ELCA Global Mission (ELCA), will allow program volunteers with a bachelor’s degree and who have completed at least one year of service to earn up to 6 credits of internship, independent study, or elective credit towards select VU graduate programs.
Volunteers enrolling at VU's Graduate School will also be awarded scholarships equal to the amount of credit given for their volunteer service: up to $2880 for MA, MS, and MEd programs, up to $1695 for Master’s or Doctorate Nursing programs, and up to $3840 for the MBA program.
Students will also have the opportunity to be selected as a Graduate Intern or receive other assistantship support in order to earn supplemental income.
