African Women Public Service Fellowship
Wagner announces a call for applications for the African Women Public
Service Fellowship, a fellowship program made possible by a donation
from the Oprah Winfrey Foundation, which expands the opportunity for
African women to prepare for public service in their home countries.
As fellows at NYU Wagner, African women study in one of two graduate
programs: the two-year Master of Public Administration or the one-year
Executive MPA: Concentration on International Public Service
Organizations. The awards for either program will support tuition,
housing, travel to and from the United States and a small stipend to
cover books and miscellaneous expenses. Applicants commit to return to
their respective home countries at the conclusion of the program with
the goal of assuming a leadership position on the continent where they
can meaningfully contribute to the challenges currently confronting
Africa.
Who Should Apply
To qualify for the Fellowship, prospective applicants must meet the
general admissions criteria stipulated here and be citizens and
resident in an African country at the time of application. NYU
Wagner's admissions committee pays particular attention to
applications from women who possess strong academic records; who have
a demonstrated commitment to public service; and for whom a Wagner
education would significantly enhance their ability to have a deep and
lasting impact on public service issues in their home country and
region. Please see the biographies of recent fellows. For more
information or to request an NYU Wagner viewbook, visit

How to Apply

on how to apply to NYU Wagner. There are no special forms or
applications to fill out to be considered for the African Women Public
Service Fellowship. You will automatically be considered for all
scholarships, including the African Women Public Service Fellowship.
