Davis Peace Projects
The Davis Projects for Peace Initiative has expanded beyond the Davis United World College Scholar schools to include selected International Houses around the world, organized by International House, New York. Kathryn Davis and her husband lived in International House while working on their masters’ degrees at Columbia many years ago, and Kathryn remains a staunch supporter of International House New York. Additional funding therefore has been committed for projects submitted by International Houses World Wide.

Davis Projects for Peace is funded by Kathryn W. Davis, a lifelong internationalist and philanthropist (who earned a B.A. from Wellesley, an M.A. from Columbia, and a Ph.D. from the University of Geneva) who is now over 104 years old. She is the mother of Shelby M.C. Davis who funds the Davis UWC Scholars Program currently involving over 90 American colleges and universities. Mrs. Davis feels some urgency to spark initiatives for building prospects for peace in the world and so is committing $1 million to fund these numerous $10,000 projects for peace. She believes that today’s youth – tomorrow’s leaders – ought to be challenged to formulate and test their own ideas.
