USAID DONALD M. PAYNE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM [DEADLINE: JAN. 20, 2017]
The Donald M. Payne International Development Graduate Fellowship seeks to prepare young people for careers in international development as Foreign Service Officers in USAID. USAID has expanded the program, which selected 3 fellows in 2013, and will offer up to 10 fellowships in 2017.
The Payne Fellowship Program provides benefits of up to $94,000 over 2 years toward a 2-year master’s degree, arranges internships in Washington D.C. and at USAID missions overseas, and provides professional development and support activities leading to employment in USAID. Fellows may use the fellowship to attend a 2-year master’s program in a U.S. institution to study an area of relevance to the USAID Foreign Service, including international relations, public policy, agriculture, environmental sciences, health, business administration, economics, or urban planning at a graduate or professional school approved by the Payne Program. At the end of the 2-year fellowship, Fellows enter the USAID Foreign Service.
Who: The Payne Fellowship encourages the application of members of minority groups who have historically been underrepresented in international development careers and those with financial need. Applicants must be graduates looking to start graduate school in the fall of the year they apply.
