The Center forPeace and Global Citizenship

Funding

The CPGC is committed to supporting students and faculty by providing funds for projects and events related to the mission of the Center.

Haverford students and faculty are welcome to apply, as are Bryn Mawr students who are majoring at Haverford and working on projects related to their major coursework (unless otherwise specified). Students intending to apply for funding should schedule an appointment with Julie Miller (On-Campus Events, Off-Campus Conferences & Workshops, Community Engagement), Janice Lion (U.S. based Summer Internships, U.S. based Student Research), or Stephanie Zukerman (International Summer Internships, International Student Research).

Note: The College will not fund project in locations on the State Department warning list. Also, international students cannot be funded in their passport country of issue (unless a dual citizen) due to the policy of the College's emergency medical insurance provider.

Deadlines:

Applications must be submitted at least three weeks before your project start date to ensure ample time for award processing. Applications that are received after that date may not be funded in full and/or awards may not be given as advance checks.

This might take the form of attendance at off-campus conferences, hosting on-campus events, organizing service learning projects in conjunction with students, and the inclusion of elements of social justice into courses.

Social Justice Transit Fund

The Social Justice Transit Fund provides funding to cover local public transportation to enable student participation in social justice activism and learning. Funding may be used to increase awareness, spread education, and demonstrate support for particular issues, populations, or ideas consistent with our mission to advance peace, social justice, and global citizenship. 

Apply

Conferences/Workshops

The CPGC supports students' attendance at off-campus conferences, workshops, or trainings that engage issues to advance peace and social action. CPGC will fund group trips; however, each student must apply individually.

Apply

On-Campus Events

The Center funds events on Haverford’s campus such as talks by academics and activists, performances and workshops. These events should be designed to engage members of the Haverford community in meaningful dialogue on key global issues and social justice.

Apply

Community Engagement

During fall, winter, and spring breaks or within the academic year, the CPGC supports students pursuing community-based projects with strong educational components. These projects are usually connected to a course or other academic endeavor, and provide a benefit to the host community. CPGC will fund group projects; however, each student must apply individually.

Apply

Student Research

The CPGC funds domestic and international student research throughout the academic year, including fall, winter, and spring break. Strong preference is given to projects relating to one’s senior thesis research and/or major. All applicants should consult with a faculty member who can speak to the project and its merit. Please note that we prefer to fund longer research stays or on-going research rather than shorter or one-time visits; decisions are made based on a relative cost-benefit analysis.
