training opportunities for underrepresented minority college students.
The IIPP Fellowship Program provides students from underrepresented minority groups with education and training experiences critical to entry and
advancement in international affairs careers. IIPP is a comprehensive program of summer policy institutes, study abroad, intensive language training,
