At the Martin School, we are proud to partner with the Volcker Alliance and We the Veterans and Military Families through the Service to Service Initiative. This program connects veterans and military families with pathways to public service education, helping you transform your unique experiences into meaningful leadership roles in government, nonprofit, and public sector organizations.

Our Master’s programs are designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to make a real impact. By participating in the Service to Service Initiative, you gain access to:

  • Tailored public service education that builds on your military and community service experience.
  • Career pathways into stable, high-impact roles in public leadership.
  • Supportive networks of peers, mentors, and alumni who share your dedication to service.

Turn your commitment to service into a career that shapes communities and policies. For the 2025–2026 academic year, we are offering competitive scholarships of $3,000 for up to five students through this initiative.

Explore how the Martin School can help propel your public service career today by navigating our programs: In-Person MPA, Online MPA, MPP, and MPFM.

First, I wanted to express again how grateful I am for being told about the Service to Service program. Being a military child has always been an important part of my life and S2S has allowed me to connect to other military service members, veterans, and dependents that share my passion for public service. The orientation was not only informative, but also an excellent venue to make connections. We learned about different public service career paths and the resources available to S2S members. Throughout the year there are different virtual events offered to us where we can learn more about topics that we have expressed interest in. I highly encourage anyone who qualifies for this fellowship to apply!

The event has been postponed — new date coming soon!

Service to Service is a national initiative that encourages veterans and military family members to serve again through public service – starting with graduate degrees in public administration and public policy. Service to Service students will join a cohort of peers at their campuses and nationally as they complete graduate degree programs and embark on meaningful careers in state and local government. 

The November 18th event will inspire, prepare, and connect you with schools participating in the Service to Service initiative to learn more about their academic offerings and application process.
