The Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law is making grants to support LBJ School students working in the developing world this summer for non-profit development organizations. The grants, which will be awarded in amounts up to $4,000, are made possible by the William H. Crook Chair in International Affairs.

Students may use the grants to cover travel and living expenses while abroad.  Students interested in applying for the grants should submit the following materials to the Strauss Center by April 3, 2009:

• a one-page description of the planned summer work
• a one-page budget that shows all sources of summer support, including salaries or stipends
• confirmation by the sponsoring non-profit of the planned summer work
• an LBJ transcript
• the names of two LBJ faculty willing to serve as references
