Fellowships, Scholarships, & Awards
Dr. David Gerstein has established an endowed fund, named in honor of his parents, at Butler University that will support travel and research related to the study of the Jewish Holocaust.
The Charles O. McGaughey Leadership Award was established to provide financial support to designated students who demonstrate leadership abilities and appreciation for basic American values as evidenced by a record of achievement in service to the community and to the University.
The Peace and Conflict Studies Program (PACS) has grants available for summer travel to do research or service in the Middle East (in particular in Israel/Palestine). These grants of between $500 and $1000 are intended to help offset the cost of travel and should not be expected to cover all expenses. In the semester after your travel you will be required to make a presentation about your experiences and turn in a brief final report to the PACS Director. To apply, or if you have questions, contact PACS Director, Dr. Robin Turner, rlturne1@butler.edu.
