The U.S. Department of State’s Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS) offers a unique opportunity for U.S. citizens studying part-time or full-time in undergraduate, graduate or PhD programs to engage in citizen diplomacy and make a real difference in the work of the U.S. Government. Through VSFS, students work remotely supporting U.S. Government agencies throughout the United States and around the world. Project descriptions are at vsfs.state.gov. Applications will be accepted July 1 – 22, 2016, through USAJOBS for over 900 positions with the U.S. Department of State, USAID, NASA, the Smithsonian Institution, and over 30 other agencies listed below, which are engaged in carrying out U.S. foreign policy. U.S. citizens who are part-time or full-time students may apply for up to three projects of interest. Applications will be reviewed and selections will be made in August. Projects start in September 2016 and end in May 2017.
