Former Peace Corpsmen Receive KU Fellowships
Four former Peace Corps volunteers will attend graduate school at KU this spring over a three year period as recipients of Peace Corps fellowships worth $6,600 each.
Among the fellowship winners announced this week by William P. Albrecht, dean of the graduate school, is Robert M. Krisko, a current KU graduate student from Kansas City.
AWARDED BY the graduate school, the fellowships are geared to support graduate students working toward the doctoral degree.
The other recipients—Mrs. Nancy Svoboda, Chicago, Ill.; George Trebour, Zephyrhills, Fla.; and Ann Zentella, Bronx. N.Y.—will enroll this spring as KU students for the first time.
The stipend pays $2,000 the first year, $2,200 the second year, and $2,400 the third year. In addition, the felloffees pay $400 a year for each dependent and covers tuition fees.
This is the first time such fellowships have been awarded.
"The fellowship recipients are not only people with fine academic records," Dean Albrecht said, "but they have made themselves better potential graduate students through their Peace Corps activities."
"BECAUSE OF their wide experience, they will be valuable additions to our body of graduate students," Dean Albrecht said.
