The P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship (IPS) Fund provides scholarships to international women pursuing graduate degrees in the U.S. and Canada to foster global peace through education. IPS recipients carry the spirit of P.E.O. back to their home countries where the degrees they have earned positively impact people’s lives around the globe.
Since 1949, the P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship (IPS) Fund has been helping women from around the world pursue graduate study in the U.S. and Canada and since 1951, IPS has also assisted international Cottey College students pursuing degrees. Today, the International Peace Scholarship Fund is open to:
- Women outside the United States and Canada who are seeking advanced degrees from accredited colleges or universities in the U.S. or Canada
- International students attending Cottey College
When IPS recipients return to their home countries, they positively impact their communities through their education. Please note that the maximum award amount is $12,500. Lesser amounts may be awarded according to individual needs.
