2017 Projects for Peace


2017 Projects for Peace

$10,000 grant for undergraduate students

Deadline to apply: January 6th, 2017

Proposal Advising (optional):  November 21 – December 2

The University of Florida, a partner institution in the Davis United World College Scholars Program, is pleased to announce an opportunity for undergraduate students to design a grassroots project for peace anywhere in the world! The Davis Foundation will award the winning project $10,000 for the project to be implemented during the summer of 2016. Undergraduate students use their creativity to design a project that focuses on conflict resolution, reconciliation, building understanding and breaking down barriers that cause conflict. Due to this generous funding, UF students have had the opportunity to travel and perform service projects all over the world (Niger, Brazil, Bolivia, Haiti, Rwanda, Mexico, Tanzania, Cambodia, India, Palestine, Swaziland, Macedonia, and Uganda).

We will also be offering one-on-one proposal advising by appointment from November 21 – December 2. Though we can’t help with the project idea, we will offer guidance on how to improve the written proposal.
