Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship Program

Croft juniors, seniors and alumni interested in a career with the Foreign Service should consider a Thomas R. Pickering fellowship.  Funded by the U.S. Department of State and administered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship provides funding to students interested in pursuing a Foreign Service career with the U.S. Department of State.  While this is an extremely competitive fellowship, all eligible Croft students (U.S. citizens with a GPA of 3.2 or above) are encouraged to apply, especially women, members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service, and students with financial need.

The fellowship offers up to $37,500 annually for academic expenses covering the first and second year of graduate school, two paid State Department internships (domestic and abroad), professional development, and mentoring by Foreign Service Officers.  The application deadline is January 16, 2015, and the recommendation deadline is January 23, 2015.
