Cooper-McElvaney Fellowship

The aim of the Cooper-McElvaney Peace and Justice Fellowship is to encourage students to live out their faith in work for peace and justice, locally and globally.  The Fellowship provides opportunities for students at SMU to pursue their passions while contributing to a just and peace-filled world.

The Fellowship is a 6-week service-based learning experience designed to allow students to work for peace and justice with a faith-based organization in their chosen field. Each Fellow will be matched with a mentor who is involved in peace and justice work and will provide advice and model a life of peace and justice integrated with one’s career.

Undergraduate and graduate students with a minimum GPA of 3.2 are welcome to apply. The application includes: a brief bio, project proposal, letter of support from sponsoring organization, and faculty/staff recommendation. Applications are open during the spring semester.

Applications are open during the Spring semester. For more information or to express your interest, email chaplain@smu.edu.
