Fellowships

Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) fellowships offer unique, transformational opportunities for U.S. citizens with a demonstrated commitment to a career in foreign policy to gain experience in a new environment. Selected fellows broaden their perspective on foreign affairs by work in a policymaking setting, at CFR exploring a policy relevant issue, or overseas working at a company, think tank, or university. CFR is committed to fostering a foreign policy community in the United States that is more representative of American society as a whole. Eligibility criteria for individual fellowships vary, and some are by nomination or invitation only.
