The Engagement Scholarship Consortium (ESC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization, is composed of higher education member institutions, a mix of public and private colleges and universities. Our goal is to work collaboratively to build strong university-community partnerships anchored in the rigor of scholarship and designed to help build community capacity.

The 2026 Engagement Scholarship Consortium will be held at the University of Tennessee on October 7 and 8. More information can be found here.
