The Freeman Prize is awarded annually in the spring to a Cornell undergraduate. The Freemans established the prize to offer recognition and encouragement to Cornell students actively engaged in promoting peace. To apply you must be a graduating senior.

If you are a Cornell freshman, sophomore, or junior interested in a summer internship for work related to peace studies and conflict resolution, please apply for the Freeman Fellowship to support work at a not-for-profit organization.

The Peace Studies Program is able to offer fellowships to several graduate students each year. These fellowships are awarded to Cornell Ph.D. graduate students from any field whose dissertation research is relevant to the concerns of the Program. The fellowships cover tuition, a stipend and health insurance. The competition for these academic year fellowships is usually announced at the beginning of the spring term, with an application deadline in mid-March for fellowships beginning the next fall.

Cornell graduate students seeking support for international travel for research and field work, must apply for support through the travel grant application administered by the Einaudi Center for International Studies. Through this application process graduate students are able to seek funding from both the Einaudi Center and up to three of its numerous constituent programs, including the Peace Studies Program.

Cornell graduate students seeking support for travel within the United States for research or to attend conferences are eligible to apply to the Peace Studies Program for one of these awards.

Each year the Peace Studies Program is able to offer very limited funds to Cornell University groups striving to bring to campus events or speakers that focus on peace studies issues and enhance our own program offerings and activities. These events must be free and open to the public. Student groups can apply here, or others interested in program support should apply in writing to the Director of the Peace Studies Program. Requests should include a description of the event, its relevance to peace studies, and a budget.
