Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund
Application Deadline
Early April
Eligibility Requirements
Although citizenship is not a consideration, applicants must be living in the United
States and planning to enroll in school in the US in order to apply. There is a strong
preference for grantees who plan on staying in the US.
The first and most important qualification for a Davis-Putter Scholarship is active
participation in struggles for civil rights, economic justice, international solidarity
or other progressive issues.
We also evaluate the applicant’s financial need and ability to perform academically
at the college level. Davis-Putter scholars are both graduate and undergraduate students
and must be enrolled in an accredited school and receiving college credit for the
time period covered by their grant.
Scholarship Description
The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund provides grants to students actively working for
peace and justice. These need-based scholarships are awarded to those able to do academic
work at the university level and who are active in a progressive movement on their
campus and in the community. The maximum grant is $10,000 and may be smaller depending
on the applicant’s circumstances and the amount of funding available.
