The University of Texas at Austin’s Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice offers grants of up to $2,500 for graduate student work on “reproductive justice.”
The center has offered the grants in previous years for themes such as “environmental justice” and “peace,” but added “reproductive justice” this past year. The application will open again in April 2027 for next summer.
The 2026 recipient list for this past summer includes Andrea Richardsdottir, a doctoral student in African and African Diaspora Studies. Miss Richardsdottir’s project sought to advance “reproductive justice advocacy with low-income, predominantly Black birthing persons” in Detroit.
“The primary research question for the project is how under-resourced communities have addressed gaps in reproductive health resources, with an emphasis on the role of grassroots organizations,” a description states.
“The research will identify the mechanisms that have been utilized to address reproductive injustices, and will explore their sustainability, replicability, and scalability,” it continues.
The other four projects from the summer fell into the category of environmental justice and peace.
The center’s grant program falls under the support of the Sissy Farenthold Fund for Peace and Social Justice, which is dedicated to “peace, environmental and climate justice, and reproductive and sexual rights.” The fund’s donation page solicits contributions through the University of Texas Law School Foundation.
The fund also supports the Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project. Part of the project’s work is tracking criminal charges and other cases related to abortion in Texas.
“The work we do is attendant to issues of pregnancy criminalization and the harmful effects of the family policing, immigration, and criminal legal systems, while also recognizing the reproductive oppression and harms caused by abortion bans,” the project’s site explains.
Campus Reform has previously reported on universities supporting abortion-related programs.
The State University of New York at Albany allows students to fulfill a Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies internship requirement at Planned Parenthood. The university includes Planned Parenthood Empire State Acts and Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood among its “Community Partner” organizations.
Similarly, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas offers academic credit for political science students fulfilling an internship requirement at Planned Parenthood.
Rutgers University co-sponsors a Reproductive and Gender Health Fellowship with Planned Parenthood to train physicians to develop “first trimester abortion care” skills.
The fellowship aims to train physicians to provide “abortion and long-acting reversible contraception” and become “women’s reproductive health care advocates.”
The University of Texas at Austin and the Rapoport Center have been contacted for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.

President Hakim and his efforts are winning big.
It’s all because we live in a decadent, pleasure obsessed society that treats sexuality like a game and whose players have no moral values whatsoever.
