The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation has announced the recipients of the 2015 Thomas R. Pickering Undergraduate Foreign Affairs Fellowships. Among them is Cretin-Derham Hall alumna Marina Kelly ’12, who is currently a junior at American University earning a degree in international studies.  

Administered for the U.S. Department of State by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the Pickering Undergraduate Fellowships develop a source of men and women whose academic backgrounds fulfill the skill needs of the State Department and who are dedicated to representing America’s interests abroad. Students are selected in their junior year of college and receive financial support towards tuition and other expenses for their senior year and their first year of graduate study. Fellows participate in one domestic internship and one overseas internship. Upon completion of their master’s degree, they commit to five years of service as a Foreign Service Officer.
