--- title: Kroc School Establishes Diversity Scholarship Fund description: At the Kroc School, we are investing in the future of peacebuilding through education. We believe nobody should be turned away from a career in peacebuilding due to financial constraints. With this goal in mind, the Kroc School is establishing the Kroc School Diversity Scholarship Fund. The Diversity Scholarship Fund is a powerful step towards ensuring that individuals from all walks of life have equal access to opportunities to pursue a career in peacebuilding and create a positive impact on the world. image: https://krocstories.sandiego.edu/hubfs/Global%20Diversity-small.jpg --- [Skip Navigation](https://krocstories.sandiego.edu/peace/the-innovating-peace-blog/kroc-school-establishes-kroc-school-diversity-scholarship-fund#main) [![University of San Diego](https://krocstories.sandiego.edu/hubfs/KROC/%5BKROC%5D%20Branding%20Assets/logo-usd.png)](https://www.sandiego.edu/) [Joan B.

We define diversity to include the full range of the human experience, including but not limited to: age, different abilities, race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression and identity, language, learning style, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, justice-impact, status as a veteran, and different political and world-views. By including a range of experiences, perspectives, and identities, we aim to create a fund that encourages an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can thrive, where ideas are challenged and explored in a safe environment rooted in peace and justice with a [mission to shape peaceful and just societies through transformational learning and knowledge generation that drives change. ](https://www.sandiego.edu/peace/about/) This scholarship fund will support students who may face systemic barriers to accessing higher education, including those from low-income backgrounds, marginalized communities, and underrepresented groups.  As a society, we must acknowledge that systemic inequalities exist and actively work to dismantle them. Supporting a diversity scholarship fund is one small but significant step toward creating a more equitable world. By donating to this cause, you are not only supporting individual students but also creating a more just and inclusive society, opening the door for all students to pursue their purpose-driven careers.  Join us in making a contribution to the Kroc School Diversity Fund and together we can cultivate thoughtful and innovative changemakers.

Kroc School of Peace Studies (Kroc School) at the University of San Diego is the global hub for peacebuilding and social innovation. Founded in 2007, the Kroc School equips the next generation of innovative changemakers to shape more peaceful and just societies. We offer master's degrees in peace and justice, social innovation, humanitarian action, conflict management and resolution, and a dual degree in peace and law — programs that have attracted diverse and dynamic students from more than 50 countries. In addition to our graduate programs, the Kroc School is home to the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ). Founded in 2001, the Institute supports positive change beyond the classroom. Through groundbreaking research, experiential learning, and forward-thinking programs, the Kroc School and Kroc IPJ are shaping a future in which peaceful co-existence is the new normal. ![](https://krocstories.sandiego.edu/hubfs/KROC/%5BKROC%5D%20Photos/rmi-hex.svg) ## Request More Information Please complete the form below to learn more about the Kroc School graduate programs.
