Members of a local P. E. O.
chapter will interview a student before deciding to sponsor her. They will then take a vote and, if successful, recommend the student. Following the chapter recommendation, the P.
E. O. Executive Office will send the student an online application, which she has 30 days to complete and submit.
The application will include detailed Income and Expense information. Both the applicant and sponsoring chapter will be notified of the decision. If the grant is denied due to an insufficient financial plan, the student can apply again with an improved financial plan.
