Opportunity for Students! U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service Fellowship

The International Trade Administration has launched a U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service Fellowship pilot program for those pursuing studies in international affairs, economics, business, public administration, and trade.

They will be selecting up to 20 students to join one of their Commercial Service international post teams for an eight-week living/learning opportunity in summer 2025, which will include a one-week orientation session in Washington, D.C., and up to $35,000 in financial assistance to cover housing, per diem, and other costs. The program is designed to increase knowledge of the Commercial Service, including career opportunities at ITA and in the field of international trade.

Applications are due by Wednesday, September 7, 2024. Please pass along program information – available on trade.gov/cs-fellowship – to interested candidates, including your alumni networks, past or present office interns, and stakeholders or other partners.
