Even if a P.E.O. member is no longer able to participate, P.E.O. members still support the ongoing work through educational projects by paying annual dues.

By maintaining active membership, if desired, a copy of the bimonthly P.E.O. Record will be received to help a member stay connected.

With the exception of the IPS program, all P.E.O. scholarships, grants and loans require the applicant be sponsored by a local chapter of the P.E.O. Sisterhood. Click here for more information about the P.E.O. Projects.

Global Minds Doctoral Scholarships Program at KU Leuven

Global Minds Doctoral Scholarships Program at KU Leuven: As one of its contributions to Global Development, every academic year KU Leuven selects exceptional scholars from institutions in the Global South as scholarship candidates to obtain their PhD from the largest university in Belgium.

The KU Leuven Global Minds Doctoral Scholarships Program is managed by the university’s Interfaculty Council for Global Development.

The aim of the Global Minds Doctoral Scholarships Program is to give scholars the opportunity to conduct 4 years of PhD research in a “sandwich” system, which means that maximum 50% of the research is financed by and takes place at KU Leuven, whereas at least 50% takes place and is financed by the home institution of the scholar, supported by a local co-promoter.

Thus, as partners, both the KU Leuven and the home institution co-finance the research. KU Leuven, however, additionally offers a supervision allowance to the local co-promotor at the home institution and to the promotor at KU Leuven.

Candidates have to be assigned by the home institution and receive sufficient financial backing from that institution so as to pursue the research in an effective manner. This ensures that the candidate is embedded strongly in the home country and can, after obtaining the PhD, contribute to local capacity building.

The PhD degree is awarded by KU Leuven. Having obtained their doctoral degree from KU Leuven, the PhD holders are expected to mobilise their expertise at the university in their home country so as to help strengthen that institution’s capacity.
