Are you interested in joining the USAID Foreign Service? Do you want to make a difference in the world?
The Donald M. Payne International Development Fellowship Program provides financial support through two years of graduate study, internships, mentoring, and professional development activities leading to an appointment in the USAID Foreign Service.
IMPORTANT: The Payne programs seek applications from students/alumni who are US citizens with demonstrated financial need, especially those who are members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service. The program is particularly interested in reaching students in STEM fields--engineering, public health, natural sciences, etc.
