Military Fellowship
The Program
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 five fellowships annually. The program enables the selected officers to broaden their understanding of international relations by spending a year in residence at CFR’s headquarters in New York. Fellows expand their knowledge of international relations through a program of individual study, research and reflection, extensive participation in CFR’s active program of meetings and events, and interaction with CFR’s diverse membership.
CFR’s Military Fellowship was an incredible experience, providing a unique opportunity for engagement with world leaders, CFR members, and visionaries. It offered a one-of-a-kind insight into New York City’s contributions to business, education, and the international community.
How to Apply

The military fellowship was a professionally enriching and rewarding experience. I’m taking with me new insights, many new friendships, and a renewed appreciation for the importance of healthy debate.
