San Diego, The Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ) at the University of San Diego’s Kroc School is currently accepting applications for its prestigious Women PeaceMakers Fellowship program. This initiative provides a platform for peacebuilders focused on gender, peace, and conflict to deepen their impact through learning, practice, research, and partnership.

According to Pak NGOs, the fellowship offers a stipend of USD 15,000 and covers expenses for participants, inviting applicants from around the globe. The program, which runs from September to July, emphasizes collaborative research between fellows from conflict-affected regions and international organizations, aiming to influence peacebuilding practices and policies.

Candidates will partake in a two-week residency at the University of San Diego, conditions permitting, and are expected to contribute to the annual thematic focus of the fellowship through their experience and insights. The fellowship seeks peacebuilders with at least five years of relevant experience and sufficient English proficiency for full engagement in its activities.
