Women, members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service and students with financial need are encouraged to apply.

The Pickering UNDERGRADUATE Foreign Affairs Fellowship seeks to recruit talented students in academic programs relevant to international affairs, political and economic analysis, administration, management and science policy. The goal is to attract outstanding students from all ethnic, racial and social backgrounds who have an interest in pursuing a Foreign Service career in the U.S. Department of State. The program develops a source of trained men and women from academic disciplines representing the skill needs of the department, who are dedicated to representing America's interests abroad.
Deadline: February 3, 2012
