WGS Internship Grant on Gender-Based Violence

Established in 1995 by the Pappas Charitable Foundation, this grant enables students to pursue an otherwise unpaid summer internship in an organization or project that addresses gender-based violence.

Eligibility requirements:

  • The internship must be with an organization, project or government office that addresses gender-based violence.

  • All undergraduate students are eligible to apply, but WGS majors and minors will be given first priority.

  • Students must be returning to Brandeis the following year (with the exception of study abroad students). Those who are graduating in May/August 2026 are not eligible for this grant.

  • Students may not combine this grant with additional funding (e.g., Sorensen Fellowship, World of Work, Rapaporte Grant, etc.).

Three grants will be awarded up to $6,000 and are available for Summer 2026. The application deadline is April 29, 2026.
