At this time, he began exploring opportunities that would help him pursue his long-term dream of working for the State Department, Nyok said. He discovered the Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship Program, which provides graduate students with financial support and professional training to prepare them for a career in the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service. |

Nyok applied for the fellowship, and among his competition were Fulbright Scholars, Harvard graduates, Yale graduates, and many other impressive students, Will said. |

June 20, 2013, Will found out that Nyok had been awarded the fellowship when he told her to watch U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s speech on World Refugee Day. Nearly 12 minutes into the speech, Kerry said, “I’m proud to say that today Gai [Nyok] is one of our Pickering Fellows here at the State Department on the path to becoming a diplomat in the foreign service.”
“And I’m going, ‘Oh my gosh!’ Then he starts giving Gai’s biography! And if you know Gai, you know he’s so modest,” Will said.
Nyok began his graduate studies in economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in August 2013, and graduated in May 2015. As part of his fellowship requirements, he interned at the State Department in Washington, D.C. in 2014, and spent the summer of 2015 as an intern at the U.S. Embassy in Geneva, Switzerland |
