American Conservation Experience is working in partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to recruit and manage fellows for the 2021 Directorate Fellows Program (DFP).  DFP was established in 2014 with over 380 participants to date. DFP is a Direct Hire Authority Program. Upon successful completion, along with degree conferral, participants may be directly appointed without competition to USFWS positions.  Over 150 DFP Fellows have been placed in permanent USFWS positions thus far.
