Peace Corps Fellows
COMMITTED TO RECRUITING PEACE CORPS FELLOWS
Georgia College & State University welcomes returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) to apply for admission as Peace Corps Fellows to the designated graduate programs listed below after completing their terms of voluntary service. Deans of the four colleges give their strong endorsement to Peace Corps Fellows/USA. Fellowships may include a combination of tuition, stipend and/or housing. Georgia College is committed to giving its fullest consideration to RPCVs who bring the specific skills identified by the assistantship, as well as a unique and valued set of experiences and skills from their Peace Corps service.
Peace Corps Volunteers who wish to pursue these Peace Corps Fellowships should initially contact Dr. Dwight Call, Assistant Vice President for International Education, who coordinates the Peace Corps Fellows Program on behalf of the university, and the dean or coordinator for the specific graduate program, who will shepherd the candidate through the process.
Assistantships are typically awarded in the spring for positions beginning fall semester. For that reason, potential Peace Corps Fellows should make formal application by February 1 prior to the fall semester they plan to matriculate.
