Description The Pickering supports those students who aspire to a career in the Foreign Service.

Each successful candidate is obligated to a minimum of three years' service in an appointment as a Foreign Service officer.
How Do I Apply? The applicant fills out the on-line application, which includes a list of graduate institutions to which the student has applied and a 600-word personal statement of background and goals. Each applicant must also request letters from two recommenders, at least one of whom should be a faculty member.
What happens next? Finalists selected from the pool of applicants are required to attend an interview session in Washington, DC in March or April. Those named as new Fellows attend an Orientation in Washington DC.
