The VACAP Fellowship is a great opportunity for young Vietnamese American professionals to gain valuable experiences that he/she would not otherwise learn from a normal entry level job. Furthermore, each fellow will have the chance to work intimately with the Vietnamese American community, grow professionally, and can truly make a difference in the community in which he/she is placed. Therefore, no matter what field the fellow decides to pursue at the end of the fellowship, the experience that he/she learn will become valuable tools in his/her career.

There are 10 fellowship positions available this year.
