A two-year program funded by the State Department, the FAIT Fellowship is a path to a career in the Foreign Service for students in IT-related degree programs. The Fellowship provides up to $75,000 in academic funding total for the junior and senior years of college. Plus, FAIT Fellows get two summer internships (with stipends), professional development and mentorship. Upon successful completion of the program and the State Department requirements, FAIT Fellows receive an appointment in the Foreign Service as a full-time Information Management Specialist.
With the goal of attracting top technology talent and increasing diversity in the Foreign Service, the State Department wants to reach more community college students. The program values varied backgrounds, including ethnic, racial, gender, and geographic diversity. Women, members of minority groups underrepresented in the Foreign Service, and those with financial need, are encouraged to apply.
We hope you join us to learn more about the Foreign Affairs IT Fellowship and how you help encourage and support your students to apply.
