DAVIS-PUTTER SCHOLARSHIP
FUND:
STUDENT ACTIVIST SCHOLARSHIP
Since 1961, the Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund has provided need-based
grants to graduate or undergraduate student activists who are able to do academic work at the
college level and are involved in building the movement for social and
economic justice. They must be enrolled in an accredited school for the time period covered by
their grant. Applicants need not be U.S. citizens but must live in the
U.S. and plan to enroll in an
accredited program in the U.S. There is a
strong preference for grantees who plan to stay in the United States and
build the progressive movement here. Information about the Davis-Putter
Scholarship Fund, the application process, and the students we support,
can be found on our website: www.davisputter.orgStudents should return to the website in January when
applications will be available for the next academic year.
Early recipients fought for civil rights, against McCarthyism, and for
peace in Vietnam. More
recently, grantees have been active in the
struggle against racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of
oppression: building the movement for economic justice; and creating
peace through international anti-imperialist solidarity.How to Apply
