Support Student Scholarships
Graduate Student Fellowships
Keeping our graduate program strong requires recruiting a high-caliber graduate student
body. Improving the availability of generous graduate fellowships helps the School
of Diplomacy compete with other international affairs schools for the world's best
students. Strengthening our ability to support incoming graduate students keeps the
School of Diplomacy competitive.
Internship Travel Stipends
Integral to the School of Diplomacy's curriculum is its required for-credit internship.
The School's Office of Internships and Career Development assists students to pursue
prestigious internships in their field of interest. A stipend lessens the burden of
living expenses associated with travel to an unpaid semester internship across the
country and around the globe at organizations including the U.S. State Department,
the United Nations and Supreme Court.
Study Abroad Scholarships
The School of Diplomacy hosts unique study abroad seminars for students, in which
the theory and practice of diplomacy converge. During each three credit course, students
are immersed in political, social, economic and cultural issues of the region and
its key institutions. Students are received by dignitaries and high-ranking national
and multilateral officials at every destination. Seminars have been conducted in China,
Ethiopia, Kosovo, Cyprus, Portugal, Italy, and France among other places and have
addressed topics including the African Union, Security, Post-Conflict Reconstruction,
the European Union, Emerging Markets and more. Scholarships give a student an opportunity
to travel abroad to study international relations first-hand and apply practical experience
to classroom learning.
The Nivah Odwori Memorial Scholarship
School of Diplomacy alumna Nivah Odwori, M.A. '06, tragically lost her life in the
January 12, 2010 Haiti earthquake while serving as a district coordinator with the
U.N. Stabilization Mission. Inspired by Nivah's life of service, alumni and friends
of the School of Diplomacy created the Nivah Odwori Memorial Scholarship in her memory.
This scholarship supports the educational pursuits of future School of Diplomacy students
who strive to emulate Nivah's example of servant leadership in a global society. To
