New Legislation Proposed!


Congress is taking action to make government service possible for more young people! The Partnership for Public Service is excited to announce that the Roosevelt Scholars Act of 2009 (S. 2789)has been introduced in the Senate by Senators George Voinovich (R-OH) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).

The Roosevelt Scholars Act will attract our nation’s best and brightest to work for the federal government. Roosevelt Scholars pursuing degrees in high-skill, high-need fields will receive tuition, room and board, and a stipend, in exchange for a federal service commitment – the civilian equivalent to the military’s successful ROTC program!
