Davis-Putter Scholarship
The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund provides grants to students actively working for peace and justice. These need-based scholarships are awarded to those able to do academic work at the university level and who are part of the progressive movement on the campus and in the community. Early recipients worked for civil rights, against McCarthyism, and for peace in Vietnam. Recent grantees have been active in the struggle against racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression; building the movement for economic justice; and creating peace through international anti-imperialist solidarity.
JCUA has been a catalyst for change since its inception in 1964. Founded by Rabbi Robert J. Marx and Lew Kreinberg, JCUA has consistently provided leadership on issues that affect low-income and minority communities in Chicago.
