P.E.O. – Where women motivate, educate and celebrate women

Welcome to P.E.O. We are a Sisterhood of women who are purposeful and passionate about celebrating, supporting and motivating women. Our mission is to help women around the world advance through education. Educational support is at the heart of everything we do and we take great pride in transforming the lives of women by providing grants, scholarships, awards and loans for higher education, alongside owning and supporting Cottey College – a distinguished liberal arts college dedicated solely to women.

Cottey College

has been owned and supported by the P.E.O. Sisterhood since 1927 and is a fully-accredited private residential college for women in Nevada, Missouri, with two and selected four-year programs.
