Support the next generation of foreign service leaders
Last year, the Foundation awarded more than $45,000 in scholarships and internship grants for the next generation of diplomats and global leaders, and with your support, we’re expanding that work.
Since 1962, the Delta Phi Epsilon Foundation for Foreign Service Education has advanced the study and practice of foreign service through scholarships, awards, lectures, and student programming. Your gift puts those opportunities directly into students’ hands.
