The P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship Fund Board of Trustees recently selected 234 students as recipients of the 2026-2027 academic awards, totaling $2,500,000. Thank you for your IPS donations and continued participation in the IPS Partners in Peace program that help make these awards possible. Should they all accept their awards, and be granted visas, the 2026-2027 recipients will come from 61 countries to attend 117 colleges/universities in 39 states or districts and 4 Canadian provinces. These talented women are passionate about pursuing their post-graduate studies in the U.S. and Canada.
Partners in Peace (PIP) chapters will be notified of their recipient’s information by the end of September 2026. Notifications are emailed to the chapter president.
