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 2003-04 academic year. The
following announcement should answer any questions about the Fund,
our scholarships, the students we support, and the process for
applying for a grant. If you are interested, or know someone who is,
please send this announcement to them. If you have additional
questions, contact us by email and we will try to answer them for you.
What is the Davis-Putter Fund?
Since 1961, the Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund has provided need-based
grants to 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.
Who does the Fund support?
Davis-Putter grantees are both graduate and undergraduate students
who are enrolled in an accredited school for the time period covered
by their grant. Although US 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. There is a strong
preference for grantees who plan to stay in the United States and
build the progressive movement here.
What kind of activities are grantees involved in? 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 large are the scholarships the Fund provides? The maximum grant
is $6,000 and may be considerably smaller depending on the
applicant's circumstances and the amount of funding available. All
of the funds for scholarships come from the contributions of
individual donors and we generally make between 25 and 30 grants each
year. Grants are for one year although students may re-apply for
subsequent years.
What are the deadlines for applying for a grant? Applications and the
supporting documents -- transcripts, a personal statement, two
letters of recommendation, a photograph, financial aid reports --
must be postmarked by April 1. Decisions will be announced in July.
How do I get an application packet?
Send a self-addressed stamped #10 envelope to the address listed
below. Requests for applications must be received by Friday, March
21, 2003 at the latest and should not be sent by carriers requiring a
signature. These are the instructions for the 2003-04 academic year
only. If you are
interested in applying in a subsequent year, please contact us for
details then.
