Pipeline to Justice
Applications for the 2025 Pipeline to Justice Award are now closed.
Pipeline to Justice (P2J)
The Social Justice Initiative’s Pipeline to Justice Award (P2J) is designed to support community organizers and activists in completing undergraduate or graduate degrees at University of Illinois Chicago with a one time award of $5000-$7500. In our 2025 cycle, this award will be open to UIC graduate students as well for the first time. Since 2012, the P2J program has been an academic conduit for students who have a dedicated practice of community organizing and commitments to social justice. This program is committed to increasing education access for students who are engaged in leadership and activism in national and local justice-based movements.
P2J works to enable and empower students to continue their activism in service to their home communities, and to view their college training as another asset in their activist toolkit rather than a distraction from it.
Applications are now closed for the 2025 cycle of the Pipeline to Justice Award. Please check back in fall 2026 for next year’s application.
