Harvard Foundation receives record number of grant requests

The Harvard Foundation received a record number of student grant applications this term for projects to improve intercultural and racial understanding. Ninety-nine grant applications were received from undergraduate student groups ranging from the Harvard Persian Society to the Irish Cultural Society and the Singapore and Malaysian Association. More than $15,000 was granted to 85 projects that will be conducted during the fall term. Others will be funded next term.

The projects included a panel discussion on the social, political, economic, and academic issues affecting the relationships of African-American parents and their daughters (Association of Black Radcliffe Women); a Chicano Studies Conference (RAZA); an Arab film series (Society of Arab Students); and a debate on "Korean and Japanese Tension" (Korean Association).

"We were delighted to receive so many high-quality applications from a wide variety of ethnic and cultural groups at Harvard College," said Dr. S. Allen Counter, director of the Harvard Foundation. "With the generous support of the Dean of the College and our faculty, we are able to sponsor projects that give expression to students' cultural interests and, we hope, improve understanding and rapport among students of all backgrounds at Harvard."
