The Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship prepares outstanding individuals for careers in the Foreign Service.
About us
The Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Graduate Fellowship Program is a program funded by the U.S. Department of State, administered by Howard University, that attracts and prepares outstanding young people for Foreign Service careers in the U.S. Department of State. It welcomes the application of members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the State Department, women, and those with financial need. Based on the fundamental principle that diversity is a strength in our diplomatic efforts, the program values varied backgrounds, including ethnic, racial, social, and geographic diversity. The Pickering Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to promote positive change in the world. Upon successful completion of a two-year master’s degree program and fulfillment of Foreign Service entry requirements, fellows have the opportunity to work as Foreign Service Officers in accordance with applicable law and State Department policy, serving in Washington, DC and at a U.S. embassy, consulate, or diplomatic mission around the globe. Fellows also agree to a minimum five-year service commitment in the Department of State’s Foreign Service. The five-year service commitment begins upon entry into the Foreign Service. The Program provides graduate fellowships to qualified college seniors and college graduates committed to joining the Foreign Service. The fellowship helps finance two-year graduate programs, provides two summer internships, offers mentoring from a Foreign Service Officer, and provides other professional development activities. The program continues to ensure that the Foreign Service reflects the face of America to foreign audiences and provides a source of trained women and men who are dedicated to pursuing Foreign Service careers with the Department of State and representing America’s interests abroad.

Every February, we celebrate Black History Month, a time dedicated to honoring the rich heritage, resilience, and achievements of Black individuals and communities worldwide. In the realm of international affairs, the importance of Black History Month cannot be overstated. It serves as a critical platform for raising awareness of the global impact of systemic racism, colonial legacies, and ongoing struggles for racial equality and justice. Black History Month provides an opportunity to amplify Black voices, stories, and perspectives on the international stage. #blackhistorymonth #internationalaffairs #foreignservice
