Tulane University is announcing a special initiative to make graduate study more accessible to U.S. Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs) and Fulbright student grantees called back from international placements because of concerns over the spread of COVID-19.

As a university with a strong tradition of public service and global studies, Tulane is offering tuition scholarships of up to 50 percent toward the entire cost of degree programs of particular interest to returning Peace Corps volunteers and Fulbright student grantees. In some cases, these scholarships may be combined with other Tulane scholarships resulting in greater financial support, including full tuition plus stipends for some PhD programs. This significant scholarship initiative is being offered for summer 2020, fall 2020 or spring 2021.

This initiative also features an expedited admission process for returning PCVs and Fulbright student grantees, including a promise that applications for summer and fall will be reviewed and decisions rendered within 10 business days of submission of all requested application materials.

The School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine degrees listed below are participating in this program, along with with a ride wange of other Tulane master's and PhD degrees on both Tulane’s campuses in New Orleans and through online/remote programs.
