ISU PC Fellows Program in January and August 2000
The Peace Corps Fellows Program in Applied Community and Economic Development
at Illinois State University is now considering applicants for January and
August, 2000 admissions. An early submission provides applicants with an
opportunity for a thorough review and interviews and gives applicants a greater
chance to receive financial assistance. If you are interested in our program,
please complete your application quickly.

RPCVs earn Master's degrees by completing one year of full-time classwork and a
second year of hands-on consulting work with urban and rural communities
concerned about their own development. Fellows receive a tuition waiver and
assistantship stipend in their first year, and are paid a salary their second
year. The program is interested in RPCVs with general skills, but is
particularly interested in economics program applicants with demonstrated
quantitative skills, or backgrounds in math, business or economics.
