Muhammad Ali Scholar Application and Program Information for 2019-2021
The Muhammad Ali Institute for Peace and Justice proudly announces the
Ali Scholars Program
A unique two‐year scholarship program combining leadership development, research, and service in:
- Violence Prevention
- Peacemaking
- Social Justice
Muhammad Ali Scholars employ a practical solution‐based approach to conduct research on their "expert area," evaluate successful social justice programs locally and globally, and gain hands‐on experience in the local community.
Students are expected to emerge with values‐based, equity‐centered leadership skills, experience working collaboratively to eliminate the root causes of issues, and a research project impacting their home communities, and ultimately their nations and the world.
