Davis Projects for Peace

This is an invitation for all undergraduates on our campus to design grassroots projects for peace anywhere in the world.

The selected submission will be funded at levels up to $10,000 and implemented during the summer.  Project proposals may take on any focus that student applicants choose — although the fundamental purpose is to use creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship in developing ideas designed to build peace in the 21st Century.

Individuals or teams (within Clark) are eligible to apply. All undergraduates (including seniors) are eligible.

Proposal Q&A, Deadlines and Calendars, Budget Template Forms and more are found here: http://www.davisprojectsforpeace.org/qa.

Review criteria will include 1) evidence of student preparation, 2) ability to implement the project effectively, and 3) the sustainability of the idea.

Questions and completed proposals should be sent electronically to the Dean of the College’s office.

The deadline to apply is January 15, 2026.

The Dean of the College will convene a committee consisting of faculty and staff to review student proposals. The committee will review all submissions and finalists (1-2) will be forwarded to the Davis UWC Scholars Program in early February. Final selections will be announced in March. Alternate selections (if any) will be announced in April.
