When you think about summer, do you wish that you could create your own job that would somehow involve doing good for the world? Is there a great non-profit for which you'd love to work that can't afford to pay you? If you answered yes to aither of those questions, then consider engaging in the competition for the $10,000 Davis Projects for Peace summer award and/or for the $4,000 McGill Lawrence Summer Internship Awards.

SEEDS and career services staff will be on hand to talk with you about strategies for your application, to help you get a handle on how to tell your story in the most compelling way. Bring your ideas and your questions!

The Davis Projects for Peace: What would you do with $10,000 for peace? For the fourth year, Reed College has been invited to participate in the Davis Projects for Peace Program. Funded by Kathryn Wasserman Davis, a lifelong internationalist and philanthropist, the project invites undergraduate students (including current seniors) to design grassroots projects for peace. In the summer of 2012, one Reed student or group of students will receive $10,000 to implement a project for peace, thanks to the generosity of this initiative:

The McGill Lawrence Summer Internship Awards: Designed to offer Reed students the opportunity to complement their academic studies with a summer internship in the public or non-profit sectors, McGill Lawrence awards $4,000 for a minimum of eight weeks of full time engagement to eight students. The fund was originally made available by a donation to help cultivate an environment of understanding and respect for multi-cultural issues at Reed. The endowment for this grant has increased in the past years with generous college and Reed student body support. At least fifty percent of the funds awarded through McGill Lawrence fund proposals that bring students in contact with ethnically and culturally diverse issues and populations. 

McGill Lawrence proposal deadline is Monday, March 5, 2012.

Online applications for the McGill Lawrence Summer Internship Awards will be open by December 15, 2011:
