Other Opportunities for Students

Several grant opportunities are available to individuals and student groups that support their engagement efforts. Davis Projects for Peace offers grants to undergraduates to design grassroots projects to be implemented during the summer. Recognized student organizations, and undergraduate and graduate students (individually or in teams) may apply for the Ronald W. Hyatt Rotary Public Service Awards.

Davis Projects for Peace

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. The 100 projects judged to be the most promising and feasible will be funded at $10,000 each. The program is made possible by Kathryn Wasserman Davis, an accomplished internationalist and philanthropist, who celebrated her 100th birthday in 2007 by committing $1 million for 100 Projects for Peace. She was so pleased with the outcome that she has continued funding these projects.

The Hyatt Rotary Public Service Awards are sponsored by the Chapel Hill Rotary Club and administered by the Carolina Center for Public Service. $6,000 is available annually for awards of up to $3,000 in support of innovative public service projects that exemplify the motto of Rotary International, “Service above Self.” UNC-Chapel Hill recognized student organizations, and undergraduate and graduate students (individually or in teams) may apply, as long as they are continuing their studies following the completion of their project. The awards are named in honor of the late Dr. Ronald W. Hyatt, Professor of Exercise and Sports Science at UNC-Chapel Hill and long-time member of the Chapel Hill Rotary Club, in recognition of his distinguished career at the University and his commitment to helping others.
