Projects for Peace is a global program that partners with educational institutions to identify and support young peacebuilders and changemakers. Each year, the Projects for Peace Alumni Award recognizes a single past Projects for Peace grantee, with a focus on individuals who have demonstrated innovation and commitment in building peace and transforming conflict throughout their career. As opposed to a grant for a project, this award recognizes past achievements and supports the future endeavors of the recipient.  Campus application deadline typically in January.
