Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund for student activists

A scholarship opportunity for you and your students.

---
The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund has applications available for
student activists who are building the progressive movement and will
be enrolled in school during the 2007-08 academic year.  Our website
provides answers to questions about the Fund, the application
process, and the students we support.  If you know of students
working for peace and justice, or if you have a list of activist
contacts, please send this announcement along and refer potential
applicants to the Fund's website: http://www.davisputter.org/

Since 1961 the Davis-Putter Fund has provided need-based grants to
students who are able to do academic work at the college level and
are involved in building movements for social and economic justice.
Grantees are both graduates and undergraduates enrolled in accredited
schools for the period covered by their grant.  Although citizenship
is not a consideration, applicants must live in the United States and
plan to enroll an accredited program in the US in order to qualify.

The maximum grant is $8,000 and may be considerably smaller depending
on the applicant's circumstances and the funding available.  All the
funds come from individual donors and there are 25-30 grants awarded
each year.  Grants are for one year although students may re-apply
for subsequent years.

Applications and the supporting documents -- transcripts, a personal
statement, two letters of recommendation, a photograph, financial aid
reports -- must be postmarked by April 1.  Final decisions are not
announced until July.
