Opening doors
Peace Corps volunteers who have spent years helping others around the world are getting a little something back from Penn in return for their service.
As a partner school in the Peace Corps Fellows/USA program, Penn will now provide Peace Corps volunteers the opportunity to attend graduate school at a greatly reduced cost as well as hold internships allowing them to continue their valuable work in underserved or needy communities.
The Penn Peace Corps Fellows will receive a minimum of $6,000 in assistance per year for two years to pursue a Master of Governmental Administration degree at the Fels Institute of Government. They can also enroll in Fels certificate programs, which offer training in nonprofit administration, economic development and growth, politics and public finance. The Fellows will serve the needs of Philadelphians, meanwhile, through their paid internships, including service with area nonprofit groups, local schools or the Fels Government Research Service.
