Subject: Foreign Service Graduate Fellowships - Pickering/Rangel/Payne

Description:
Are you interested in joining the Foreign Service of the U.S. Department of
State or the USAID Foreign Service? Do you want to make a positive change in
the world?

The Pickering and Rangel Graduate Fellowships provide financial support
through two years of graduate study, internships, mentoring, and professional
development activities leading to an appointment in the Foreign Service of
the U.S. Department of State. These programs are now open and the
applications are due in September (see below).

The Payne International Development Fellowship provides similar support
through two years leading to an appointment with the USAID Foreign Service.

IMPORTANT: The Pickering, Rangel, and Payne programs seek applications from
students and recent graduates who are US citizens with financial need,
especially those who are members of minority groups historically
underrepresented in the Foreign Service.
