Purpose
The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund provides grants to students actively working for peace and justice. These need-based scholarships are awarded to those able to do academic work at the university level and who are part of the progressive movement on the campus and in the community. Early recipients worked for civil rights, against McCarthyism, and for peace in Vietnam. Recent 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.

Supporting student activists
All our funds come from the contributions of individual donors -- there is no endowment. The Fund depends entirely on the generosity of people like you to support a new generation of progressive students. The number of grants we are able to make and the size of each grant is directly related to the financial support we receive each year. Contributions of all sizes are important and we hope you will join us by sending your check to:

The Fund is a tax-exempt organization and donors will be provided with a receipt for tax purposes.
