The Rangel International Affairs Program is now accepting
applications for the 2014 Rangel International Affairs Graduate
Fellowship.
The Fellowship
welcomes applications from young people interested in careers of
international service. For those who want to become Foreign Service
Officers in the U.S. Department of State, the Rangel Graduate Fellowship
Program provides benefits of up to $90,000 over two years toward a
two-year master's degree, arranges internships on Capitol Hill and at
U.S. embassies, and provides mentorship and professional development
support. Fellows can use the fellowship to attend two-year master's
programs in U.S. institutions to study any area of relevance to the
Foreign Service, including international relations, public policy,
public administration, languages, or business administration. Upon
successful completion of the two-year fellowship, Fellows join the
Foreign Service of the U.S. Department of State, embarking on a uniquely
rewarding career of international service. Applicants must be college
seniors or graduates looking to start two-year graduate programs in fall
2014, must have GPAs of at least 3.2, and must be U.S. citizens. 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. Information and
application materials can be found at
www.rangelprogram.org. The application deadline is
January 17, 2014. The Program is funded by the U.S. Department of State and managed by Howard University.
