Congratulations to the 2017-2018 PDF Recipients! Professional Development Fellowships (PDF) of $1,000 to $2,500 are awarded each year to assist spouses and partners in maintaining, enhancing and/or developing their professional skills while overseas. Since its inception in 2005, the PDF program has supported more than 1,200 family members. The competition was tight for the 2017-2018 season; FLO received more than 350 applications. The applications were reviewed by selection committees representing each bureau, Human Resources and FLO. FLO was pleased to award fellowships to 112 recipients – the most ever. Projects included attending local or online universities in areas such as the study of communicable diseases, counseling, foreign languages, human resources, nutrition, and the study of terrorism and political violence. Recipients also received fellowships for maintaining state licensures and national board certifications in dentistry, education, medicine, and technology-related fields. For more information on the program, go to the PDF webpage. Look for announcements about the next open season in spring 2018.
