The Rangel Graduate Fellowship Program welcomes applications from
young people interested in careers in 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, and
arranges internships on Capitol Hill and at U.S. embassies. 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.

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.
