Anyone have any information on these fellowships? At a maximum of 30K in fellowship money plus help in getting federal employment post-graduation I would think that these would be pretty well-known among IR students interested in natl security issues…

I was under the mistaken assumption one had to be a current grad student to apply whereas now I see you can apply for the fellowships as someone applying for graduate programs. Does anyone know how selective these are or how many doors they would open post-graduation in terms of federal employment?
