Service Fellowship History

History of the Award

The first Service Fellowships were established in 2024 to award five deserving members $2000 fellowships for 2025-26 to support a term of service through a global or domestic service organization, either post-graduation or between studies. These will be named Fellowships, and the first was named in honor of a long-standing chapter advisor, Deborah Manzanares.
