The Albrecht Fellowship for High School Students offers a unique opportunity for driven high school students to take their learning to the next level. While high school typically focuses on core subjects like American history, biology, and classic literature, some students yearn for a deeper dive into global issues and career paths.

This Fellowship is open to any sophomore, junior, or senior considering a career that spans the globe, such as being a diplomat working for a multinational company or joining a nonprofit organization with a global mission. Program participants are called Albrecht Fellows and become part of a robust network of like-minded peers at the high school and college levels.

Students can apply for the program by submitting their application on our portal linked here before November 17, 2024 at 11:59pm.
