GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM We provide financial assistance to exceptional graduate-level scholars selected for their demonstrated leadership and moral character who aspire to careers in public service. The Graduate Fellowship aims to encourage these rising leaders in their dedication to serving our nation and provides year-round programming designed to connect the members of its talented alumni network and support them in their professional journeys. CAMCA FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM We bring exceptional rising leaders from Central Asia, Mongolia, the Caucasus and Afghanistan (CAMCA) to the U.S. for a high-level, intensive exchange experience designed to forge enduring personal and professional connections among its participants. The Fellowship aims to encourage intraregional cooperation among the program countries as well as to foster stronger relations between the U.S. and the CAMCA region, and serves as a starting point for continued collaboration among the innovative regional leaders that comprise its alumni network.
