Scholarships for
NJ RPCVs

When 7,000+ Peace Corps Volunteers and Trainees were evacuated from their countries of service in March 2020 due to Covid-19, it marked the first time since March 1, 1961 that there are no PCVs in the field.

While the evacuation is now preventing RPCV-NJ from providing project support to PCVs in the field, it does not stop us from providing support to our New Jersey RPCVs who are furthering their education.

The RPCV-NJ Board of Directors is pleased to offer up to 3 scholarships to RPCVs in the amount of $500 each.

Apply by October 31, 2020
Scholarships Awarded in December
