Fellowships

Military Fellowships

Each year, the Chiefs of Staff of the Army and the Air Force, the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Commandants of the Coast Guard and the Marine Corps nominate an outstanding officer from their respective services as a candidate for a Military Fellowship. CFR usually awards four to five such fellowships annually. The program enables the officers selected to broaden their understanding of foreign relations by spending a year in residence at CFR's headquarters in New York. Fellows participate in CFR programs, meet with CFR members and staff, and engage in studies in conjunction with CFR's Studies Program. They also assist in arranging several politico-military trips for CFR members during the year.
