Utah Higher Education AmeriCorps Network Fellowship Program

The Utah Higher Education AmeriCorps Network (UHEAN) is a statewide organization for students in higher education who are passionate about service. Through the (UHEAN) fellowship program, students can gain mentorship, experience, and educational funding by completing direct service related to their course of study. Students can earn the Segal Education Award while completing required practicum, clinical, or internship hours. Students who complete their service term gain recognition and special access to the Employers of National Service Network, connecting them with employers committed to hiring alumni.
