The UA has funded Peace Corps Fellows and related service learning fellows with grants and support from:

AmeriCorps State of Arizona grant "Bringing Service Home" (2006-07, 2-year renewals)

In the first year, up to 20 AmeriCorps members provided 450 or 900 hours of service, promoting community development and environmental sustainability, developing career expertise, and achieving academic goals. Half-time members receive living stipends of $5820 and an educational award of $2300 for their service. A 450-hour quarter-time slot is also available. A second-year renewal was approved for 28 half-and quarter-time positions. Agencies are required to provide a 20% match of the living allowance and are invoiced by the Graduate College. 

U.S. Department of Education Work Study Public Service Funding (2000-02, 2005-08)

Students with financial need may request and receive Work Study awards and provide public service at non-profit organizations which contract to participate in the Work Study program (through UA Office ofStudent Financial Aid). Agencies directly employ and pay students for this service, and may be reimbursed 75% of the student's work study award. The cost to the agency is 25% of the amount awarded. You may hold both work-study and an AmeriCorps Member position, but the hours cannot be counted for both.

UA Graduate Assistantships

In some situations, Fellows may hold an assistantship in which the work is an appropriate Fellows internship. Examples include assistantships with outreach units of the UA, or work which benefits an underserved community. Students may hold assistantships in their home department, but may also seek positions in other units.

Non-profit Agencies (2000-present)

Agencies in the community allocate resources for the hiring of students, both from operating resources and from grants.

Arizona Community Foundation Fellows (2002-2004)

In a collaboration with the Arizona Community Foundation, three ACF Fellows provided service in developing rural communities, including the Tohono O'Odham Nation Sif Oidik District Range Management Planning, Cochise County Community Development, and "Bootstraps of Elfrieda" project.

U.S. HUD Community Development Work Study Fellows (2002-2004)

Three graduate students in Planning and Public Administration served as HUD Community Development Work Study Fellows from 2002-2004. Each fellow served in three internships over the course of their graduate studies. HUD CDWS Fellows served in City of South Tucson Police Department, UA Public Administration Rehabilitation Services, Southwest Fair Housing, Casa Grande, City of Tucson, Pasqua Yaqui. and Tucson Indian Center.

U.S. HUD Hispanic Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (2002-2006)

A team of Eller School MBA students and PC Fellow assessed the needs and developed a marketing plan for the Douglas Business Incubator Center. Other Fellows prepared plans for the AriSewna Sewing Cooperative and the Adventure Times Child Care Center.
