Davis Projects for Peace is open to all undergraduates at the 76 institutions (including UNC-Chapel Hill) that are part of the Davis United World College Scholars Program. Students are invited to design grassroots projects that they will implement during the summer. Davis Projects for Peace selects 100 projects judged to be the most promising and feasible and funds them at $10,000 each.

Each participating institution will select and submit one proposal for funding along with up to two additional proposals to be considered. The Carolina Center for Public Service oversees the selection process at UNC-Chapel Hill.

To be considered, an undergraduate student (or group of students) must prepare an online application which:

– describes the project (who, what, where) and how it will promote peace,
– includes expected outcomes,
– a realistic budget, and
– describes prospects for future impact.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2015 Davis Projects for Peace Award at the Carolina Center for Public Service Application and Nomination Portal and are due by Jan. 20, 2015.
