Langenberg Legacy Program Fellowship

The University System of Maryland (USM) Langenberg Legacy Program invites applicants for the inaugural class of Langenberg Legacy Fellows. USM is committed to civic education and civic engagement, and the Langenberg Legacy is a grant program that supports this priority by funding student-led projects dedicated to civic engagement. The Langenberg Legacy evolved out of the Langenberg Lecture and Award program, which was originally established to honor former USM Chancellor Donald N. Langenberg on his retirement in 2002. The existential threats of our time include wealth inequality, the climate crisis, voter suppression, and widespread disinformation campaigns, among others. Students are invited to propose projects that aim to combat these threats on a small scale, promoting justice within their university community. 

Students who are motivated to improve the world we live in through local, justice-oriented action are encouraged to apply. USM also encourages participation from students representing a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. Each institution with USM is invited to nominate one Langenberg Legacy Fellow and by completing the application you will be entered into the selection process of College Park undergraduate and graduate student applicants at the University of Maryland. There will be one Legacy fellow selected for the University of Maryland - College Park to take their place among others from within the USM institution fellows.
