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.
