Students invited to apply for cross-cultural grants
With funding from the Clella Iles Jaffe Cross Cultural Endowment Fund, undergraduate and graduate students are invited to apply for grants for projects and activities that will promote cross-cultural understanding and racial or ethnic reconciliation in a global or significantly diverse context.
Priority will be given to projects dealing with:
- Racial reconciliation
- Peacemaking
- Organizational communication
- Cinema/media/broadcast
- The communication arts in general
- Cross cultural experiences that will enhance the student’s professional career
Grants may not be used for research projects and trips, Juniors Abroad, semesters off campus, and service programs.
Students may apply by submitting a letter of application and description of the project or experience, along with a faculty letter of support, to: Lon Fendall, director of the Center for Global Studies and the Center for Peace and Justice (lfendall@georgefox.edu). Inquiries are welcome about the suitability of project ideas.
Applications are due on March 31. A faculty committee will meet shortly after that and decide which proposals to fund.
