P.E.O.
One of the pioneer societies for women, P.E.O. was founded on January 21, 1869, by seven young college women on the campus of Iowa Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Originally a small campus society, P.E.O. soon chose to go entirely off campus. Today, P.E.O. has grown from that tiny membership of seven to over a quarter of a million members in chapters in the United States and Canada. From its inception, the P.E.O. Sisterhood has taken an active role in the promotion of educational opportunities for women. Today, education continues to be the only philanthropy of P.E.O., as evidenced by the promotion of five international projects: P.E.O. Educational Loan Fund, Cottey College, P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship Fund, P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education, and P.E.O. Scholar Awards.
The P.E.O. Sisterhood maintains five educational projects:
· P.E.O. Educational Loan Fund (ELF)
· Cottey College
· P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship Fund (IPS)
· P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education (PCE)
· P.E.O. Scholar Awards

THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
The Rhodes Scholarships, the oldest international fellowships, were initiated after the death of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, and bring outstanding students from many countries around the world to the University of Oxford. The first American Scholars were elected in 1904.
American Rhodes Scholars are selected through a decentralized process by which regional selection committees choose 32 Scholars each year from among those nominated by selection committees in each of the fifty states. Through December 2000, applicants from more than 300 American colleges and universities had been selected as Rhodes Scholars. In most years, a Rhodes Scholar is selected from an institution which has not formerly supplied a successful applicant.
