GT Study Abroad Scholarships: P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship

Announcing an opportunity for substantial financial support for international female graduate or PhD students. The award is called the International Peace Scholarship (I.P.S.) and it is sponsored by a nonprofit organization called P.E.O. (Philanthropic Learning Organization). P.E.O. offers five projects, of which I.P.S. is one.

It is our fondest hope that by helping educate future leaders in additional countries we can in some small way foster friendliness, understanding and peace in the world.

The scholarship is up to $10,000 and is renewable one time only. Any current female international student (who has at least one academic year remaining upon receipt of the scholarship in May) is eligible. Also, any newly accepted student, even if she has not yet matriculated, is eligible.

Note that the preliminary application must be filed by December 15th. Applications are available at: www.peointernational.org. Click on the link on the left-hand top of the screen entitled About P.E.O. and its Projects; then International Peace Scholarship Eligibility Form pdf. (Note that the form will become available on August 15th.)

Awards are based on a budget, which the International office uses to determine need. If she qualifies, based on need, P.E.O. International will mail her the full application packet. The budget need not be substantiated until after the student is selected to receive the full application. Selected students submit the full application by January 31st. The scholarship is based not only on need, but also leadership qualities and academics.

Feel free to contact the Chair if you have any questions or concerns about IPS.
