Chatham to provide five Coverdell Fellowships to Returning Peace Corps Volunteers each academic year

Chatham University announced the university has once again been selected to participate in the Paul D. Coverdell Fellows program, which provides a fellowship reducing the cost of tuition and mandatory fees for Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) enrolling in Chatham’s Falk School of Sustainability & Environment graduate programs by 25%. 

With graduate degrees in sustainability, food studies and dual-degree business programs, Chatham’s Falk School creates a great opportunity for RPCVs to continue their service to underserved communities through the Falk School, while also pursuing graduate studies at a reduced cost. Chatham’s Falk School of Sustainability was originally selected to offer Coverdell Fellowships beginning in 2017 and has been renewed for another five years.
