How to Apply

The GFA Fellowship is a two-year paid opportunity for recent graduates to serve in high-impact roles in governments across the country as a part of a diverse community of engaged leaders. Our program is a direct-apply program, which means that we do not reserve slots for universities and we do not select Fellows based on nomination or recommendation.
