Coverdell Fellows Program for Returned Peace Corps Volunteers

“When you’re ready to attend graduate school, we can help you continue your unique service journey. The Paul D. Coverdell Fellows program is a graduate fellowship program that offers financial assistance to Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs).

Bring your service home

Become a Coverdell Fellow and use your Peace Corps-acquired skills closer to home. Prospective schools value the skills you’ve gained abroad in intercultural exchange, developing and managing projects, learning a new language, and leveraging limited resources.

All fellows complete internships in the U.S., allowing them to continue to collaborate with communities on locally prioritized projects, to expand upon skills they gained as Volunteers, and to meet Peace Corps’ Third Goal.”
