Description: There are a variety of foreign affairs fellowship programs that provide funding for academic and professional preparation for undergraduate students and alumni considering international careers. Some fellowships prepare students specifically to enter the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service (Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Program, Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship, Donald M. Payne International Development Graduate Fellowship Program), representing America’s interests abroad. Others provide research experience (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Junior Fellowship Program). And still others have broader goals of expanding participation in public policy (Public Policy & International Affairs Program) and exploring national histories of discrimination and resistance (Humanity in Action Fellowships).
Join us for an introduction to these program and application processes. Deadlines will be coming up in the early fall for many, so summer is a great time to be working on applications!
