Applying for the FAIT Fellowship: Benefits, Eligibility and Tips

Are you excited to prepare for a fulfilling career in the Foreign Service, using your tech skills to support U.S. diplomacy around the world?

The Foreign Affairs Information Technology (FAIT) Fellowship, funded by the U.S. Department of State, provides academic funding for your last two years of a bachelor's degree or a two-year master's degree program in an I.T.-related field. Plus you get two summer internships with stipend support, professional development, and personal mentoring. And the best part: When you've successfully completed the program, you will enter the Foreign Service to launch your career as an Information Management Specialist (IMS).

Join us for this must-see one-hour webinar co-presented by the U.S. Department of State and The Washington Center.
