academic semester opportunities
Antioch University Women's Studies Abroad Since its beginning in 1985 Antioch Education Abroad's Women's Studies program has offered students a unique opportunity to examine and compare international feminist issues. The combination of lectures, seminars, and fieldwork with European feminist leaders, students, workers, artists, and professionals brings our students out of the classroom and into the midst of the feminist movement within four European countries. If you have any questions or would like to apply for the fall 2003 semester please do not hesitate to contact Antioch Education Abroad at 1.800.874.7986 or aea@antioch-college.edu.
Student Activists Work in the Real World through The Union Semester A program sponsored by Queens College and the New York City Central Labor Council provides students with an opportunity to continue their college work while simultaneously gaining "real life" experience in working for social justice. Union Semester students work full-time with a union or union-affiliated community organization and attend Labor Studies classes during evening hours. For their efforts, they are awarded a weekly stipend of $210 and a $1,700 scholarship. The scholarship covers full tuition for New York state residents and half the tuition for out-of-state students. Students interested in social justice work are strongly encouraged to apply. For more information, visit Union Semester online or contact the Labor Resource Center at Queens College at 212.827.0200 or unionsemester@qc.edu.

Career Development Grants and Community Action Grants
Career Development Grants are available for women who have a bachelor's degree and who are re-entering the work force, advancing careers, or changing careers. Community Action Grants provide seed money to individual women and organization for specific projects.
A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and social systems that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life depends. The Ford Foundation is one source of support for these activities. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest in comparison to societal needs, we focus on a limited number of problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals.
