The International Peace Scholarship |
The
International Peace Scholarship Fund is a
program which provides grants-in-aid for
selected women from other countries for graduate
study in the United States and Canada. An
international scholarship program was initiated
by P.E.O. in 1949. The P.E.O. International
Peace Scholarship Fund was established in 1959.
Believing that education is fundamental to world
peace and understanding, members of P.E.O.
support this program through voluntary
contributions.
Eligibility:
An applicant must be qualified for admission to
full-time graduate study and working toward a
graduate degree in the college or university of
her choice in the United States or Canada.
Eligibility must be established before
application material is sent to applicants. The
eligibility material may be requested at any
time, but the completed material will be
accepted back in the International Peace
Scholarship Office, P.E.O. Executive Office only
