VEM GRADUATE GRANT

    The Program on Values and Ethics in the Marketplace (VEM), an interdisciplinary program that applies ethics, political policy, and history to marketplace issues, is offering a grant for graduating seniors who will be pursuing graduate study related to ethics and its impact on the marketplace. Applicants may be in any field, but the course of study must intersect issues in ethics and the marketplace.

    A requirement for the grant is the occasional participation in VEM activities that intersect the recipient’s area of study. For example, we might ask the student to do research for the program, or to help arrange lectures or seminars. The grant recipient must submit progress reports, and the grant funds may be reevaluated if the student is not making sufficient progress in graduate school.
