Affiliated Centers: Labor Studies Scholarships & Grants for UW Students and Faculty

The UW Center for Labor Studies, which is one of our affiliated centers, is currently seeking applicants and nominations for their scholarships and research grants. They have awards open to both undergraduate and graduate students with a strong interest in labor, human rights, and social justice. In addition, they offer a labor research grant for UW faculty and graduate students who seek funding for a project with relevancy to policy in Washington State.

 

All awards are available to students who will be enrolled at the UW in the 2016-2017 academic year, with the exception of the Best Paper Prize, which can be awarded regardless of enrollment status.
