Applicants must have obtained an advanced degree (e.g., Master’s, J.D., Ph.D.), within the two years preceding the opening date of this announcement (i.e., between September 12, 2021, through September 12, 2023), or expect to complete all advanced degree requirements, including the successful defense/completion of any required thesis/dissertation, by August 31, 2024. The advanced degree must be from an accredited academic institution or deemed meeting U.S. standards (see more below).

Those applicants selected as Finalists having or obtaining advanced degrees from non-U.S. academic institutions will be asked to use a credential evaluation service; failure to provide documentation in a timely fashion may result in revocation of Finalist status. Additional information can be found under the Become a PMF/Eligibility/Education Outside U.S. section on the PMF website.

Those applicants selected as Finalists who are current graduate students completing their advanced degree requirements must upload an updated advanced degree transcript to their applicant user account on the Apply Site of the PMF Talent Management System by August 31, 2024, to retain eligibility. From the applicant pool, the PMF Program Office will identify Semi-Finalists. Subsequently, from the Semi-Finalist pool, the PMF Program Office will identify Finalists. Selection of Finalists will be based on:
(1) ability to meet eligibility requirements,
(2) complete application,
(3) online assessment results,
(4) structured interview results, and
(5) the total number of Finalists authorized each year.
