 THE HOFFMAN PUBLIC SERVICE INCENTIVE AWARD:

Florida Fellows are naturally inclined to continue a public service career path following their fellowships. This award, a $2,000 gift from the Hoffman Endowment, is just a little extra encouragement.

To qualify, a Fellow must obtain salaried employment in state, local or federal government within six months of graduation from the Fellows program or graduation from school. (In the latter case, the Fellow must graduate within three years of completing the Fellowship.)

Hoffman Award Winners:
Jeffrey Joyner, Class IV
