As of fall 2014, the Master of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS) at Georgetown University began offering a full-tuition scholarship for a talented graduate student from sub-Saharan Africa.  Georgetown recently announced that Mitchelle Osok is the first recipient chosen for this prestigious award.  Ms. Osok, from Kenya, is a graduate of the University of Nairobi, and comes to MSFS with professional experience in the Kenyan Parliament.

MSFS is a two-year, full-time graduate degree program in international affairs. Students will take courses in international relations, international trade, international finance, statistics and analytical tools, and history. In addition, students choose an area of concentration such as Global Politics and Security, International Development, or Global Business and Finance. 

Special consideration will be given to applicants from Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa.
