About the CAA Fellowship

The CAA Fellowship program is designed to foster the development of the next generation of American diplomats. Of the CAA Fellows selected each year, six are named Ambassadors Walter and Leonore Annenberg Fellows. Since 2004, the annual fellowship program has offered rising seniors selected from among the Department of State’s summer internship class the opportunity to receive mentoring from former United States ambassadors, to enroll in advanced coursework in foreign affairs and economics, and to attend various Council panels and events. These Fellows are “some of the most outstanding young leaders in the United States and have great potential to make important contributions to our country,” stated Ambassador Abelardo L. Valdez, CAA President Emeritus and Fellowship Program Founder.
