US Peace Corps Coverdell Fellowship for Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs)
You have served two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer and had experiences of a lifetime
that no one can take away from you. Why not go the extra step and enhance those practical
experiences with a Master's degree? Kennesaw State University's Master of Science
in International Policy Management provides an excellent opportunity for you to continuing
your studies.
As is indicated at the Peace Corps website, for many Peace Corps Coverdell Fellows,
this is an opportunity to combine academic and professional endeavors with your desire
to work in underserved communities. At the same time, it allows the Fellow to reintegrate
into a community and do something meaningful after his or her experience abroad.
Through the Peace Corps Coverdell Fellows Program at KSU you will receive a tuition
waiver and stipend for fall and spring semesters. The program offers Graduate Research
Assistantships to Peace Corps Fellows for up to four academic semesters in this degree
program.
