From P.E.O. Chapter V
The Philanthropic Education Organization, P.E.O., has announced that Great Falls College-Montana State University student Natalie Strissel is the recipient of a Program for Continuing Education grant of $2,200 to continue her pursuit of a college degree.
Strissel, a Hingham native, is a senior at Great Falls College-MSU, majoring in nursing.
Chapter V, one of two local P.E.O. chapters in the area, sponsored Strissel in the grant application. For the 2017 fall semester, 12 grants were awarded in Montana for a total of $24,700.
As a philanthropic organization, P.E.O. supports six philanthropies that include ownership of Cottey College in Nevada, Mo, a woman's college offering bachelor's and associate degree programs, and five programs that provide higher educational assistance through scholarships, grants, awards and loans.
The P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education, one of six scholarship projects, is a grant program established to provide financial assistance to women whose education has been interrupted and find it necessary to return to school. The cumulative amount of assistance provided to recipients is more than $280 million.
