“Closed” Study Locations

The locations listed below are the study locations for the Olmsted Scholar Class of 2026.  These locations are “closed” to candidates submitting applications for the Olmsted Scholar Class of 2027 (to be selected by the Olmsted Foundation Board of Directors in March 2026).  Additionally, officers chosen for the Olmsted Scholar Class of 2027 will not be assigned to any locations in Singapore, Hong Kong, Russia or mainland China.  Finally, the Olmsted Foundation generally does not assign two Scholars to the same city at the same time.  There are, however, some exceptions for locations with very large populations or those locations of strategic importance to US international relations and policy.
