Franklin & Marshall College

One hundred project proposals are chosen by the Davis United World College Scholars Program each year to receive a $10,000 grant. It is left up to the student to define what a "project for peace" might be.  Projects must take place during the summer, and can be based anywhere in the world, including in the United States.

Significant work is required before submitting a proposal.  For advice on a project idea, contact the Office of International Programs.

All current students are eligible to apply, including seniors who will complete the project after graduation.
