USAID Payne Fellowship

[asseenontv]

Hi everyone,

 

Does anyone know anything or has applied to the USAID Donald M. Payne International Development Graduate Fellowship Program? I applied this year and I really hope I at least get an interview! I learned about it not too long ago and it seems like an awesome opportunity! I am actually planning on studying public health and am interested in becoming a population/health/nutrition officer.

 

Any advice on timeline, interviews, and your experience (application process or if you are a fellow) would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hi asseenontv, 

 

I also applied for the Payne Fellowship this year! I've been involved in the microfinance sector for a few years, so I applied for the Private Enterprise Officer. From the website, it looks like finalists will be notified at the end of February. Fingers crossed for good news!!

looks extremely competitive. have you read the recipients' bio's? it's like they have been in intl dev since they were 6 years old... they are all out of this world. no surprise at all they received the award. each and every single one of them deserve it.
