Drew Action Scholars is a two-year program with a four-year scholarship, guided by a distinctive, results- and action-oriented approach to real-world problem-solving. Accepted students join a cohort of peers committed to community, innovation and global impact in a connected world.
Community-Based Learning, or CBL, classes foster the ability to connect academic learning with action in the world. At Drew, CBL classes strengthen community partners that serves the common good. They fulfill the Off-Campus Experience requirement and qualify as one of the Launch program’s immersive experiences.
The Changebuilders program is designed to offer Drew students the opportunity to volunteer both locally and abroad. In an effort to increase a culture of community service at Drew, this program allows students to give back to the community while refining their leadership skills, communication, and global awareness.
The Center for Civic Engagement is the central hub for all things related to voting and civic participation. From the Drew Student Voter Project to the All In Democracy Challenge, Drew students, faculty, and staff work to make sure that all members of our community can have their voices heard.
