Program Overview

The Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Summer Enrichment Program encourages applications from women and students from historically underrepresented minority groups to enhance diversity in U.S. representation abroad. It is administered by Howard University in Washington DC. The program meets from mid-June through the end of July. Scholars participate in two academic courses that focus on knowledge and skills related to U.S. foreign policy and economics, as well as a writing seminar. They learn about international careers by meeting public and private sector professionals and by visiting the Department of State, international organizations, and NGOs who work on global issues. The program also explores graduate school, scholarships, and internship opportunities and helps students hone key professional skills. 

The Program covers the costs for tuition, travel, housing, and two meals per day. It also provides a stipend of $3,200 to participants.
