The UP Padayon Public Service Office initiated the Public Service Writing Fellowship which shall provide a mechanism for individuals to further their scholarly work on public service through financial support, with the goal of publishing their public service research in peer-reviewed journals. This endeavor aligns with the University’s mandate of documenting and evaluating public service programs and initiatives.

The Public Service Writing Fellowship aims to promote public service as a scholarly and interdisciplinary endeavor. University faculty and staff, as Fellows, shall write literature-grounded evaluation and documentation of the public service initiatives they have developed and undertaken, and develop these into journal articles ready for publication. The Fellowship is also a response to the need for a strong and healthy public service and extension research culture in the academe, as this will make the University’s initiatives sustainable for the beneficiaries, institutional partners, and other stakeholders.
