The essence of this award is to fund educational and hands-on opportunities for students who are active and passionate about labor-related and socially progressive issues, who may otherwise be restricted from participating in such opportunities because of financial need.
Student awards are to be given to undergraduate students affiliated with the LSER Department. The award will be based on (1) financial need and (2) past, current, or future participation in a labor-related or socially progressive internship or applied field experience. A preference will be given to students in their second year. Non-traditional students are eligible for this award. Relevant internship or applied field experiences will be evaluated and approved by the program administrator.
Special consideration: Past, current, or future participation in a labor-related or socially progressive internship or applied field experience; preference given to students in their second year; non-traditional students are eligible.

Pamela Sue Schmidt was a bright and energetic undergraduate at the School of Management and Labor Relations (SMLR) whose life was tragically cut short on March 13, 2011 at the age of just 22. Pamela was set to graduate that May with a joint B.A. in Labor Studies and Employment Relations and Psychology. She was very excited to have been accepted into the School's top-ranked MHRM program. In her brief life, Pamela touched the lives of hundreds of people, always seeking ways to bring together family and friends and to assist others in need; she took particular joy in finding scholarships to help fellow students. SMLR proudly established the Pamela Sue Schmidt Student Award for Outstanding Service to the Community to recognize and remember Pamela's legacy.
This award is given annually to the SMLR undergraduate who has had the most positive impact on the community either within the School, across Rutgers, or outside the University, so that they may continue their studies at SMLR. Scholarships are open to full-time or part-time undergraduate students enrolled in SMLR.
Special considerations: Student who has had a positive impact on the community within SMLR, across Rutgers, or outside the University
