The Council of American Ambassadors provides six fellowships in honor of Ambassadors Walter and Leonore Annenberg. The Fellowship program combines mentoring by former U.S. ambassadors, practical training through internships at the Department of State and, in cooperation with The Fund for American Studies, academic studies in international affairs at Georgetown University, as well as residential housing on campus. The Fellowship provides a $6,000 award to each student that is applied to cover the cost of the program.
The Fellowships are open to undergraduate students who have completed their junior year prior to the commencement of their internships. Applicants should possess a strong interest in pursuing a career in diplomacy or international affairs, and their backgrounds should reflect a high level of academic excellence and leadership in extra-curricular activities. The Fellowships are available only during summer sessions.
