Foreign Affairs IT (FAIT) Fellowship

The FAIT Fellowship is a program through the U.S. Foreign Service with an emphasis on information technology majors, including, but not limited to, cybersecurity and computer science, that is offering a two-year fellowship pathway program that includes funding for an academic degree for two years, summer internships, and ends with a job offer to join the foreign service for a minimum of five years. The program provides the funding for either the last two years of a student’s bachelor’s degree or for the two years of a master’s program. In between these years, it provides its fellows with internships. The first summer (either between the junior and senior year of undergraduate or after the first year of a master’s degree), the fellow will be able to experience a domestic internship for ten weeks with the Foreign Service. During the second summer (after the fellow’s senior year of undergraduate studies or after the second year of their master’s degree), they will be given the opportunity for an overseas internship with the Foreign Service for ten weeks. After the second summer internship, they will accept a position with the U.S. Foreign Service and will be obligated to serve for a minimum of five years.
