ABOUT: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement (OPPE) is accepting applications for the 2024 USDA E. Kika De La Garza Fellowship Program. These fellowships introduce faculty and staff from Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) to the vast array of USDA resources available to them. The fellowships take place during the summer of 2024.
The USDA E. Kika De La Garza Fellowship Program offers faculty and staff the opportunity to work collaboratively with USDA to gain insight and understanding of the federal government. Fellows receive access to long-term collaboration opportunities with USDA agencies, and then share what they have learned with students and colleagues at their home institutions and in their communities.
Education Fellowships are for faculty and staff at Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Participants attend a one-week program in Washington, D.C. (July 8-12, 2024).
Science Fellowships are for science faculty at Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Science fellows not only attend the one-week program in Washington, D.C. (July 8-12, 2024), but also spend an additional week collaborating with leading scientists at a USDA research facility (July 15-19, 2024).
Eligible applicants are faculty or staff at an HSI or HSSD.
APPLY: For more information or to apply, visit USDA’s Hispanic-Serving Institutions National Program web page.
