Service Starts Here: Fellowship Workshop

Interested in foreign service? Join us in our fall semester workshop for fellowships that support students interested in working for the federal government. We will cover the Payne, Pickering, and Rangel Fellowships. These fellowships help students gain experience and fast track students to a career in foreign service or international development with the U.S. government.
The Rangel and Pickering fellowships offer students a two-year master’s degree and a pathway for working for the Department of State. The Payne fellowship offers students a two-year master’s and a pathway for working for the USAID.
We are SUPER EXCITED to have Shane Hough, a career Foreign Service Officer with 21 years of experience with the U.S. Department of State, joining us for this workshop!
