CIPA, peace corps launch fellows program.

In December, the Peace Corps and CIPA joined to offer a new Paul D. Coverdell Fellows Program that will provide scholarships for graduate studies to returned Peace Corps volunteers.

All program fellows will complete internships in underserved American communities, allowing them to bring home and expand upon the skills they learned as volunteers. Fellows will receive a tuition fellowship award of at least $8,000 per year.

"We are delighted to partner with Cornell 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."

Said Alan Mathios, the Rebecca Q. and James C. Morgan Dean of the College of Human Ecology: "Given their rigorous interdisciplinary field experience, Peace Corps volunteers are an ideal fit for the mission of the college. I am confident that Cornell's MPA program, supported by a global community of public affairs professionals, will provide opportunities for these fellows to advance their careers and make a positive impact on our world."
