About Organisation
The Dorothy Marchus Senesh Fellowship was established to support women from developing countries in pursuing studies related to peace and conflict resolution. The fellowship was created by Larry Senesh, a professor of Economics at the University of Colorado at Boulder, in memory of his wife, Dorothy Marchus Senesh. Since its inception, the fellowship has been awarded every two years to two outstanding women scholars, helping them advance their research and contribute to global peace efforts. The program recognizes the importance of academic opportunities for women in regions facing socio-political challenges and aims to empower them through education. With a strong commitment to fostering leadership and knowledge in peace studies, the fellowship continues to provide crucial financial assistance to deserving candidates.
