Abstract	This study was designed to clarify the students' civic awareness at Kuwait University. The researchers developed Student Civic Awareness Questionnaire (SCAQ) consisting of 20 items. Three hundred seventy-two students participated in this study. The study findings indicated that the students are concerned with community culture in their conduct and are aware of most different minority cultures living in the community; however, the students have only moderate interest in community services, activities, and volunteer work. The study recommends engaging the university with volunteer organizations to increase students' involvement in the community. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided).
