Description
Projects for Peace is an annual grant program supporting undergraduate students in designing and implementing innovative, community-centered projects that address urgent global issues and promote peace. The program emphasizes student leadership, creative problem-solving, and direct engagement with local or global communities. Each selected project receives a $10,000 grant for summer implementation. The initiative is open to students from a network of partner colleges and universities, with each campus nominating one proposal and an alternate through an internal selection process coordinated by a campus liaison. Projects can be conducted anywhere in the world and may be implemented individually or by teams.
