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.
