Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship
The Thomas R. Pickering Graduate Fellowship provides benefits valued at up to $90,000 over two years toward a two-year master’s degree, arranges internships at the State Department and U.S. embassies, and provides professional development and support activities for those who want to become Foreign Services Officers in the U.S. Department of State.
Fellows attend a two-year master’s degree program in international affairs or a related subject such as public administration, public policy, international relations, business administration, economics, history, political science, communications, or foreign languages. After completion of the two-year fellowship, Fellows enter the Foreign Service of the U.S. Department of State and serve in Washington, DC or at a U.S. embassy, consulate, or diplomatic mission around the globe. The Program encourages the application of members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service, women, and those with financial need. Applicants must be college seniors or graduates looking to start two-year graduate programs the fall after submitting an application, have a 3.2 GPA, and be U.S. citizens. The Program is funded by the U.S. Department of State and managed by Howard University.
