the last thirty two years sought to enhance the process of peace.
DOROTHY MARCHUS
SENESH FELLOWSHIP
The International Peace Research Association Foundation invites applications for
the Dorothy Marchus Senesh Fellowship in Peace and Development Studies for Third
World Women. Dorothy Senesh was a long-time activist for international peace and
justice. Her husband Lawrence established this fellowship following her death in
1989. The first award was made at the IPRA 25th Anniversary meeting, July 1990,
in Groningen, Netherlands and has been made biennially since. The eleventh award
will be made at the 23nd biennial IPRA meeting in Syndey, Australia.
AWARD
Every other year (beginning in 1990) one woman receives school expenses in the
amount of $5,000 per year for two years.
ELIGIBILITY
The Dorothy Senesh Fellowship is available to women from the Third World who
have completed a Bachelor's degree, who have been accepted into a graduate
program and whose graduate work is to be focused on issues related to the goals
of IPRA. Funds will only be dispersed when the selected candidate is admitted
into a graduate program. Awards are considered based on need; therefore students
with substantial funding sources are less likely to be considered for the award.
APPLICATION
Applications are due by 15, 2010.
Announcement of the Award will be made by February 15, 2010.

The International Peace Research Association (IPRA) is an independent
international non-governmental body with members in over seventy countries and

levels. IPRA researchers are able to test their individual research in working
groups covering a range of topics including communications, conversion from
military to civilian production, defense and disarmament, ecological security,
food policy, human rights and development, internal conflict resolution,
international conflict resolution, nonviolence, peace building in crisis areas,
peace education, peace movements, refugees, religious conflict, and women and
peace.
