Peace Corps Fellows Program
The experiences that Peace Corps Alumni bring are valuable to our community. Peace Corps Fellows who are accepted to participating graduate programs in the John H. Lounsbury College of Education may be awarded assistantships that relate to their experience and training in the Peace Corps. Upon successful completion of their Peace Corps Volunteer assignment, Peace Corps Fellows can apply to College of Education Programs (the application process is the same as for all applicants, but see the Peace Corps web site for more information about eligibility requirements).
Assistantships are awarded by the academic colleges. Each college (or department) will make decisions on assistantship awards. Early application is key.
For consideration for a fellowship, applicants apply to the Dean of the College where the student would like to be considered. This application process MUST be completed by March 1 to be considered.
