Benefits of the PEO International Peace Scholarships
PEO members think that education is critical to global peace and understanding. The scholarship is awarded based on demonstrable financial need, although it is not designed to cover all academic or personal expenditures.
A student can receive up to $12,500 in funding. Individual needs may result in less sums being awarded.
The scholarship is awarded based on financial need, although it is not meant to cover all academic or personal expenditures. The applicant must confirm additional financial resources adequate to pay her expected expenses at the time of application. Personal and family finances, tuition waivers, labor scholarships, teaching assistantships, study grants, and other scholarships may be available as additional resources.
In May, the winners will be announced. The PEO International scholarship will be split into two payments, one in August and the other in December.
