The Michigan Service Scholars Program (MSS) is an AmeriCorps program that encourages students to serve on their campuses and in their communities.  MSS promotes civic engagement and active citizenship among college students. 

Students willing to complete 300 hours of community service during one calendar year will receive a $1,000 education award to help further their education.  Service hours may be completed during the academic year and/or over class breaks, including over the summer. 
The MSS program has defined "Service" into 2 categories: Volunteer Recruitment & Community Service

Volunteer Recruitment members serve to recruit other students, faculty, community members, etc. to participate in service activities for a 501(c)3 nonprofit, K-12 school or higher education institution doing community work.

Community Service members complete their hours by helping community agencies achieve their mission by volunteering in various capacities.  You can do that by working the various social issues tackled by 501(c)3 nonprofit, K-12 schools or colleges/universities doing community work. Internships, service learning courses, and Federal Work Study Positions focused on community needs may qualify.
