Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund

The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund provides financial support for students who are active and emerging organizers in progressive movements for liberation, self-determination and social and economic justice in their communities. Established in 1961, the fund awards need-based scholarships to students enrolled at a college or university or in a trade or technical program who are active in progressive movements. Grantees are doing work characterized by an opposition to capitalism, racism/white supremacy, hetero patriarchy and gender-based violence, environmental exploitation and/or other forms of systemic harm and oppression. The fund has awarded over 1,600 scholarships totaling $4.9 million over its 64-year history.
