USDA/FAS Diversity Fellowship Program for undergraduate students

The Foreign Agricultural Service is recruiting for candidates for the Diversity Fellowship Program. This is a call for applications to begin master's level studies in Fall 2023. The deadline for applications is October 6. This may be a great opportunity if you have a chapter of MANNRS within your college.

The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Diversity Fellowship Program (FDFP) creates a path for outstanding bachelor’s degree students of any major to pursue careers in the FAS Foreign Service. The program encourages the application of members of minority groups historically underrepresented in USDA and those with financial need. Based on the fundamental principle that diversity is a strength in U.S. engagement with the world, the program values candidates representing a wide range of backgrounds, including ethnic, racial, social, and geographic diversity. 

Selected students will receive a fully funded master’s degree in Agribusiness or Agricultural Economics from the accredited U.S. university of their choice and are matriculated into the FAS Foreign Service upon completion of all requirements. Applications are currently being accepted from candidates looking to begin graduate studies in the fall of 2023. The deadline to apply is October 6, 2022.
