What is the PMF Program?
Bearing the Presidential Seal, the Presidential Management Fellows Program is the Federal government's premier leadership development program for advanced degree holders across all academic disciplines. Since 1977, the PMF Program, administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, has matched outstanding graduate students with exciting Federal opportunities. The program has gone through several changes over its 45 year history, but the mission remains the same: to recruit and develop a cadre of future government leaders.
