Changemaker Award Nomination

FALL 2024 deadline april 15!

Do you know a student who is passionate, empathetic, and interested in making change in the world? Do you know a student who could benefit from getting real-world experience in an organization on the front line of current social and sustainability issues in Boston?

Could that student also benefit from earning a full semester of academic credit at the same or lower cost than full tuition and housing on campus—plus eligibility to win a $500-2,000 Changemaker Award?  

Nominate current college students and they will receive an expedited enrollment process to participate in Semester in the City (and other benefits listed below) and an intensive social impact internship next Spring or Fall. Learn more about the Semester in the City Program here and view our results here.

  • Students you nominate will receive an invitation for a small-group Dinner and Discussion on emerging trends in the social impact ecosystem with our co-founder and CEO Eric Schwarz;

Your nomination can open the doors of opportunity for any student in need of work experience, college credit, and the skills employers are looking for! When you nominate someone, they will be contacted by a staff member to tell them more about SITC and see if they are interested in applying! If so, they will be eligible for this award.
