Every year the Dean Rusk International Studies Program awards grants for study, research, service, and experiential learning abroad. This is done twice each year: once in the fall for project that will take place over winter break or the spring semester, and once in the spring, for summer, fall and year-long projects. Grant Amounts vary considerably. The average award is around $800 but grants have ranged from $100 to $5000. Grant funds come from a variety of sources, some of which are for general distribution and some of which are earmarked for study in a particular region or field.

Please click on the links below to find out more!

Grant Applications are due on October 26, 2007 for trips during winter break and the spring semester and February 28, 2008 for trips during the summer or fall. No late applications will be accepted! Please turn in your applications to the Dean Rusk Office in Duke Residence Hall #125 or if you are abroad you can email them to the Assistant to the Director.

Student Grant Guidelines The guidelines are intended to help students understand what factors are considered when administering grant funds. These are not hard and fast rules, but are meant to help students to understand what the Dean Rusk FAC is looking for.
Grant FAQs Students often have many questions during the grant process. Some of the most common questions we get can be found here. If you have additional questions, please contact the Dean Rusk Program.
Dean Rusk Grant Requirements For those students awarded a Dean Rusk travel grant, they will be required to agree to set terms and conditions with regard to the use of their grants.
Model Grant Applications Students interested in applying for a Dean Rusk grant can use these model grant applications as ideas for what information should be included. If students have any questions, please contact the Dean Rusk Program.
Past Grant Recipients' Reports For those students interested in applying for a Dean Rusk Grant or who have already received money, we have examples of past Dean Rusk Grant reports. These reports give an idea of the type of projects we have funded in the past and what information we like to see on reports from returning students.
Endowed Dean Rusk Grants Certain Grant funds are earmarked for specific travel uses and can not be used for any other purposes. This list of endowed funds has been given by and in honor of friends of Davidson College and the Dean Rusk Program.
