The Peace Corps and Yale University today announced the launch of a new Paul D. Coverdell Fellows Program that will provide graduate school scholarships to Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. All program Fellows will complete internships in underserved American communities while they complete their studies, allowing them to bring home and expand upon the skills they learned as volunteers.
“We are delighted to partner with Yale University to support our Returned Volunteers as they pursue higher education and continue their commitment to service,” Peace Corps Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet said. “Communities are moved forward by the selflessness of volunteers, and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers have unique skills and experiences to offer their local communities.”
