As the National Peace Academy intentionally brings a focus on peacebuilding to the USA, we are pleased to announce the National Peace Academy Elise Boulding Scholarship Fund. This scholarship fund ensures that seeds of peace will continue to be sown as we educate the coming generations of peacebuilders in all walks of life in the knowledge, skills, and capacities to create a culture of peace at every level of our society.

With the National Peace Academy Elise Boulding Scholarship Fund, we celebrate with joy and appreciation Elise Boulding’s life of service on behalf of the common good. We celebrate her lifelong demonstration of the spirit of peace and imagine with Elise a culture of peace.

In her final years, Elise would graciously and happily share with visitors her wisdom, wit, and wonderful imagination and sense of possibility. She would tell stories that came alive as she spoke of her years seeding peace around the world and inspiring a culture of peace. Elise’s legacy reminds us that peace work encompasses our children's playgrounds, our family homes, our shared work places, our communities, and the world.

Elise served as Honorary Chair of the National Peace Academy Advisory Board and welcomed the stakeholders to the March 2009 National Peace Academy Design Summit at Case Western Reserve University. In her welcoming remarks, her love of humanity and capacity to inspire came through as she touched our hearts. We are mindful of her statement, “There is no time left for anything but to make peacework a dimension of our every waking activity.” Click here for a profile of Elise Boulding.
