FULLY FUNDED : Apply for the Rangel Graduate Fellowship Program

The Rangel Graduate Fellowship is an initiative designed to draw exceptional young people and train them for positions in the U.S. Department of State's Foreign Service, where they will be able to assist in creating, interpreting, and carrying out the country's foreign policy. A very competitive worldwide approach is used by the Rangel Programme to choose exceptional individuals who become Rangel Fellows each year.

The Rangel Fellows receive two years of graduate study support, internships, mentoring, and professional development opportunities. This programme promotes women, those in need of financial assistance, and members of historically underrepresented minority groups to apply to the Foreign Service.

In compliance with State Department policy and applicable laws, fellows who successfully complete the programme and meet the conditions for entrance into the Foreign Service will be appointed as Foreign Service Officers.

The goals of Rangel Fellows are to serve their nation and encourage constructive change on a worldwide scale. After successfully completing the Rangel Programme, people are currently changing the world in places like China, Korea, Bangladesh, South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, Mexico, Panama, Colombia, and Ireland.
