Harvard University will award full scholarships this fall to at least 50 veterans<\/a> and public servants as part of a new master\u2019s degree program launched in the wake of thousands of dismissals of federal workers<\/a> by White House officials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one-year American Service Fellowship program is being run through the Harvard Kennedy School<\/a>, which focuses on public policy issues. Officials expect at least half of the new class to be veterans and the rest to be made up of individuals with seven years of experience in public service jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter sent to students and faculty Thursday morning, Dean Jeremy Weinstein said the new fellowship is launching now \u201cbecause in this moment of political division, unprecedented challenges, and declining in government, there has never been a more important time to invest in the next generation of America\u2019s public servants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
