FOR STUDENTS
MIT PKG Center
Deadline: March 30th, at noon
The PKG Fellowships program supports MIT students working on capacity-building social impact and community engagement projects. Students work with community-focused organizations including non-profits and social enterprises. These can include a student's own social enterprise.
What can you do? Follow your passion and collaborate with a community-focused organization!
You can create your own project, continue work on an enterprise you already started, or intern/consult with an existing organization.

Davis Projects for Peace $10,000 Fellowship
Deadline passed.
Davis Projects for Peace offers a $10,000 fellowship for an MIT undergraduate student project that promotes peace. The aim is to “encourage and support today's motivated youth to create and try out their own ideas for building peace.”
Projects must be implemented during the summer of 2018.
Successful past projects have focused on:
- fostering empathy
- promoting cross-cultural understanding
- revitalization of post-conflict and post-disaster communities
- justice and fair processes
Applications from student groups and individuals are welcome. The recipient must be an MIT undergraduate, but a team may include graduate students or others.
