The Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship is funded by the U.S. Department of State and administered by the The Washington Center for Academic Internships. The fellowship award includes funding toward tuition, room, board, and mandatory fees during the senior year of college and the first year of graduate study. Reimbursement for books and some travel may be paid, pending availability of funds. Fellows must commit to pursuing a graduate degree at one of the graduate schools participating in the program, in fields such as international studies, international affairs, public policy, administration, economics, political science, or foreign languages. Participating graduate schools, full-member APSIA schools, provide financial support in the second year of graduate study based on need.
