P.E.O. Record
THANK YOU!
Together We Are Doing It!
Even in hard economic times, your personal contributions for our projects and recipients will ensure that P.E.O. stays healthy and continues to make an impact throughout the world. Be proud of our good work as we have:
Graduated approximately 8,100 women from Cottey College since it was first gifted to the P.E.O. Sisterhood in 1927.
Had a total of more than 80,000 recipients of ELF, IPS, PCE and PSA, and have given almost $190 million in financial assistance:
- Educational Loan Fund loans are more than $121 million since 1907.
- International Peace Scholarships are more than $24 million since 1949.
- Program for Continuing Education grants are more than $33 million since 1973.
- P.E.O. Scholar Awards are more than $11 million since 1991.
Although not a project but an important component of our financial structure, the P.E.O. Foundation has grown to more than $73 million in more than 800 funds since 1961.
You did all of this while supporting the STAR Project, a pilot project for high school seniors, with contributions of nearly $500,000. Take a minute and give yourselves a pat on the back.
