Davis Projects for Peace
Care about peace? Want to do something meaningful this summer? Would $10,000 help you make that happen?In its third year, Davis Projects for Peace, is an invitation for undergraduate students (including current seniors) to design grassroots projects that they will implement during the summer of 2009. The projects judged to be the most promising and do-able will be funded at $10,000 each. The objective is to encourage and support today’s motivated youth to create and tryout their own ideas for building peace.
Intentionally, no clear definition is offered so as not to limit the imagination. Students should define for themselves what a “project for peace” might be. The funding foundation hopes to encourage creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. The overall program (all 100 projects) is to be worldwide in scope and impact, but specific projects may be undertaken anywhere and as grassroots as desired, including in the U.S. Groups of students from the same campus, as well as individual students, may submit proposals.
Reed is proud to participate in the Davis Projects for Peace by nominating one student proposal to the Davis foundation. Internal application are due January 26, 2009.
