The purpose of the ACN Peace Scholars program is to enrich students' knowledge of nonviolence, enhance their leadership skills and provide opportunities for peace-related experiences. These students are equipped to make a difference for peace in our world.

Students in the ACN Peace Scholars Program each receive a $1,000 renewable, merit-based scholarship per year. Scholars may be in any major course of study at Ashland University, but are required to pursue a minor in Ethics or Conflict Resolution (only 5 classes). Scholars receive individualized academic advising and VIP engagements with ACN speakers on a variety of topics related to nonviolence.
