| Graduate Fellowship Program
|
| The Rangel Graduate Fellowship is a program that aims to attract and prepare outstanding young people for careers in the Foreign Service in which they can help formulate, represent and implement U.S. foreign policy. Each year, the Rangel Program selects 20 outstanding Rangel Fellows in a highly competitive nationwide process and helps support them through two years of graduate study, internships and professional development activities, and entry into the Foreign Service. This program encourages the application of members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service and those with financial need. Fellows who successfully complete the program and Foreign Service entry requirements will receive appointments as Foreign Service Officers, one of the most exciting and rewarding careers available.
Rangel Fellows are committed to serving their country and promoting positive change globally. Individuals who have successfully completed the Rangel Program are now making a difference in countries throughout the world, including Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, China, Korea, Bangladesh, Spain and Ireland.

Politics and international service have been consuming interests for Greg Pardo, a native of San Antonio, Texas. With a degree in political science and international relations, Greg volunteered for a non-government organization in Bangladesh for two years after college.Experiencing the political riots and subsequent suspension of elections in 2006 and 2007, he recognized the strong interest the United States has in promoting peace and stability around the world. His desire to be part of that effort attracted him to the Foreign Service. He turned to the Rangel Program to make his goals a reality. |
