Davis Projects for Peace Summer Grant

Davis Projects for Peace is an initiative for all students at the Davis United World College Scholars Program schools to design their own grassroots projects for peace that they themselves will implement anywhere in the world during the following summer. One hundred projects will be selected from proposals from over 85 campuses (including at least one from Kalamazoo College) for these $10,000 grants.

For more details, including a description of K’s winning project conducted last summer see the Davis Projects for Peace Website.
