Villanova University Fitzpatrick College of Nursing

The Fitzpatrick College of Nursing has partnered with the United States Peace Corps to offer the Peace Corps Paul D. Coverdell Fellows program. The goal of the Peace Corps Paul D. Coverdell Fellows program is to give the returned volunteers an opportunity as Fellows to continue working with underserved populations in a domestic setting using the skills they learned as volunteers while engaging in formal study to advance their own careers. In return for working with an underserved population, Fellows are given financial assistance by the College to reduce education costs. In addition, Fellows will participate in professional seminars with other nursing student leaders, will present their Peace Corps experience to other Villanova students, and will partner with faculty mentors to achieve career goals.
