Senesh Fellowship in Peace and Development Studies for Women from countries in the Global South.
Dorothy Senesh was a long-time activist for international peace and justice. Her husband, Lawrence,

since.
Every other year (beginning in 1990) two women receive school expenses in the amount of $ 5,000
per year for two years.
Eligibility
• The Dorothy Senesh Fellowship is available to women from countries in the Global South 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.
