Welcome to the blog site for the Social Entrepreneur Fellows sponsored by APPLES Service-Learning, a program of the Carolina Center for Public Service.
This one-year Fellowship is designed for aspiring social entrepreneurs who are interested in making a significant contribution locally, nationally or internationally through the creation of an entrepreneurial project that addresses a community issue or need.
Fellows receive enrollment in a social venture development course, up to $1,500 to help launch their idea, support from APPLES students and staff, and invaluable leadership training and personal development. Five Fellowships are awarded each fall.
