Does peace corps pay for your colllege?
No. You can find programs that will help you pay for school if you have Peace Corps experience. Some lenders will forgive some of your debt for time served but Peace Corps does not make any of those decisions.
Does the peace corps pay for college?
There are definitely some benefits to joining the Peace Corps in this regard. The only student loans that can be forgiven through Peace Corps are Pell Grants- otherwise you just have to defer payment while you volunteer. But many schools partner with the Peace Corps either through Peace Corps/Fellows or Masters International and you can potentially get scholarships, full tuition, etc for being in the Peace Corps. I am currently a grad student and get to waive 18 credits in my program (which would have otherwise cost around $17,000) just because I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. How generous the program is depends on the school. See the related link below to the educational benefits of joining the Peace Corps.

Peace corps good idea or bad idea?
everyone's peace corps experience is different. mine wasn't great but somebody else's could be the "experience of a lifetime". it really depends on the country one is assigned to and luck. some volunteers get excellent assignments while others get really bad ones. having a positive attitude and making the best of it will not make much of a difference if one gets a really bad assignment. i personally would not do it again or recommend it to someone I care about.
What are some famous symbols of peace?

Can you join the peace corps if you are a convicted felon?
No, the Peace Corps will accept people who have been convicted of non-felony counts as long as they occurred before your 18th birthday but not felonies. However, depending on what type of felony it was, there are instances when that ban can be waived, providing the felony occurred some time ago.The Peace Corps may accept felons depending on what the crime was. They may also choose not to accept felons if they are deemed dangerous to other members.
