100 Projects for Peace
100 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.
Guidelines for submission:
Application deadline is January 23, 2009.
Each participating institution is charged
with selecting and submitting one proposal
for funding along with up to two additional
proposals to be considered. At UNC-Chapel
Hill, the Campus Y, APPLES Service-Learning
Program and the Carolina Center for
Public Service are overseeing the selection
process.
To be considered, a student (or group
of students) must prepare a two-page
written statement which:
1) describes the project (who, what,
where) and how it will promote peace,
2) includes expected outcomes, and
3) describes prospects for future impact.
The proposal must also include a one
page budget with explanation of planned
expenditures. Proposals should include
pre-approval of all parties and organizations
involved in the project. The three-page
proposal should be submitted electronically
to ccps@unc.edu
by January 23, 2009.

The Carolina Center for Public Service strengthens the University's public service commitment by promoting scholarship and service that are responsive to the concerns of the state and contribute to the common good.
