Middle East Justice Scholarship
(in memory of Rachel Corrie)

This scholarship is for students dedicated to gaining a better understanding of the Middle East, and to working within the community, either locally or internationally, to further Middle East understanding.

Areas of interest may include Arab culture, Islam, Arabic language, US policy in the Middle East, and/or a peaceful and just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Rachel was particularly concerned with putting her knowledge into action within the community.

Applicants must show how they will use their studies to promote human rights, understanding, and social justice through activist work at home or in the Middle East. (This scholarship will cover either one year of out-of-state/international tuition, or one year of in-state tuition plus travel abroad to the Middle East.)

The recipient will be selected by a college committee comprised of one faculty of Middle East Studies (Therese Saliba, Steve Niva, and Lance Laird), one faculty of Social Change (Peter Bohmer, Larry Mosqueda, etc.), and a community member working on Middle East peace and justice issues.
