Are you interested in joining the Foreign Service of the US Department of State? The Pickering and Rangel programs seek young men and women who are dedicated to representing America's interests abroad. Pickering and Rangel awards provide financial support for two years of graduate study (and one years of undergraduate study also for junior-year awardees), as well as summer internship placements and mentoring programs. Juniors, Graduating Seniors and Recent Grads who are U.S. Citizens are eligible to apply for Pickering and Rangel Fellowships; interested full-time undergraduate students are eligible to apply for the Rangel Summer Enrichment program. Students with financial need, women, and members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service, are especially encouraged to apply.
