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. 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 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. Learn more and apply here: https://fasdiversityfellowship.org/
