State or the USAID Foreign Service? Do you want to make a positive change in
the world?

The Pickering  https://pickeringfellowship.org/graduate-fellowship/

Graduate Fellowships provide financial support through two years of graduate
study, internships, mentoring, and professional development activities

State.

especially those who are members of minority groups historically
underrepresented in the Foreign Service.
