[Pen-l] Scholarships for Student Activists- Please Post

["Denise Reinhardt" <denise@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ATTENTION STUDENT ACTIVISTS!

 

Since 1961 the Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund has provided need-based scholarships to students at the college level who are involved in building movements for social and economic justice.  Early recipients worked for civil rights, against McCarthyism, and for peace in Vietnam. Recent grantees have been active in the struggle against racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression; building the movement for economic justice; and creating peace through international anti-imperialist solidarity.

 

The Davis-Putter Fund has grants available for student activists who will be enrolled in school during the 2009-10 academic year.  The application, instructions and information about the Fund and the students supported can be obtained at www.davisputter.org.  Applications and the supporting documents -- transcripts, a personal statement, two letters of recommendation, a photograph, Student Aid Report -- must be postmarked not later than April 1.  

Both undergraduates and students working towards graduate and professional degrees enrolled in accredited schools are eligible.  Although citizenship is not a consideration, applicants must be participating in activities in the US and enroll in an accredited program in the US in order to qualify.  Grants are for one year.  Students may re-apply for subsequent years. The maximum grant is $8,000 and may be considerably smaller depending on the applicant's circumstances and the funding available.  All the funds come from individual donors, and there are 25-30 grants awarded each year.  Those selected to receive a grant will be notified in July.
