A significant component of the Lincoln Memorial University experience is service. Our University Mission Statement stresses the importance of service to the development of the whole person. We believe "a major cornerstone of a meaningful existence is service to humanity; service to the community where one lives; and service in a global and diverse society with an emphasis on the underserved."
All students receiving institutional financial assistance at LMU are expected to participate in the Student Service Initiative. This program allows students to broaden their horizons and become involved in community and service-learning projects. The University encourages and helps facilitate paths for students to provide service opportunities on an individual basis.

The Student Service Initiative is an opportunity for students receiving Institutional Financial Aid from Lincoln Memorial University to broaden their horizons and become involved in service-learning projects and community service.
Participants in the SSI program are all undergraduate students receiving any form of financial aid from LMU (for example, sports scholarships, Lincoln Grants, and academic awards).
Students that receive institutional aid are encouraged to participate in 10-hours of community service per semester. The Student Service Initiative will include only those projects and initiatives that do not include internships and payable service.
