Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Program

2008 Graduate Fellowships &

Summer Enrichment Program

 Toward the goal of a diverse U.S. Foreign Service representing the
uniquely rich range of talents and expertise of the American people.

 “We live in a world in which people of many cultures, colors, and faiths are actors on the international stage.  In America diversity is our strength, and we have much to offer in sharing our experience in creating a diverse and harmonious society.  With our nation's growing international involvement, there could be no better time to attract the best and most diverse talent to represent the American people in every corner of the globe."  Congressman Charles B. Rangel

 “And I hope to see over the next several years an even more diverse diplomatic corps, because one of the wonderful things about America is that we are one America made up of people from all backgrounds and all ethnicities and all religions. It’s an extraordinary thing that we really have forged one out of many, and we are going to be a diplomatic corps that embodies diversity.” Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

 The Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Program, a collaborative effort between Howard University and the U.S. Department of State, seeks to attract outstanding young people who have an interest in pursuing a career in the Foreign Service of the U. S. Department of State.   The Program encourages the application of members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service and those with financial need. 

The Program includes two major elements: 

• The two-year Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Graduate Fellowship for students preparing to enter graduate programs in international affairs and committed to a career in the U.S. Foreign Service.

•  A six-week Summer Enrichment Program open to undergraduate students interested in an international affairs career.
