Lisa Gates / / Fellowships, Graduate School Funding

The Rangel Graduate Program deadline has been changed to September 19, 2016. The application is open and available at www.rangelprogram.org.  The Program supports graduate education for college seniors and recent graduates interested in careers as Foreign Service Officers. The program welcomes any undergraduate major and encourages applications from members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service and those with financial need.

 Applicants must be college seniors or graduates planning to start two-year graduate programs in fall 2017; must have GPAs of at least 3.2; and must be U.S. citizens.  The Rangel Graduate Fellowship Program provides benefits of up to $95,000 over two years toward a master’s degree, arranges internships on Capitol Hill and at U.S. embassies/consulates, provides mentorship and professional development support, and leads to a career in the State Department Foreign Service. Fellows must use the fellowship to attend two-year master’s programs at U.S.- based institutions to study an area of relevance to the Foreign Service, including international relations, public policy, public administration, economics, or business administration. Upon successful completion of the two-year fellowship and Foreign Service entry requirements, Fellows join the Foreign Service of the U.S. Department of State, embarking on a uniquely rewarding career of international service. There is a five-year service obligation.

 The Program is funded by the U.S. Department of State and administered by Howard University.

We are excited to announce that the 2016-2017 White House Fellows application is now LIVE. The deadline for application submission is January 12, 2016. Are you a US citizen, committed to public service, interested in making a difference in government?

WHAT IS A WHITE HOUSE FELLOWSHIP?

Over the course of nine presidential administrations the non-partisan White House Fellows program has become the nation’s premiere fellowship for public service and leadership. White House Fellows are remarkable Americans with a commitment to service who come to Washington to gain first-hand, high-level experience in the Federal government and develop themselves as leaders. The fellowship year consists of a full-time work placement in the offices of Cabinet Secretaries, senior White House staff, and other high-ranking Administration officials. In addition, Fellows participate in a robust education program designed to provide a behind-the-scenes look at leadership in government, non-profits, business, the media and more. Learn more about the White House Fellows program here.
