The PMF Class of 2013 application, via an announcement on

To become a Presidential Management Fellow (PMF), you must sign
up for a multi-phase process. It will take patience and endurance,
but also gives you a chance to demonstrate your ability. Last year,
more than 9,000 graduate students applied to the PMF Program and
approximately 630 achieved Finalist status. If you become a PMF,
you will have earned your place in the Program, and the opportunity
to grow professionally, serve your country, and make a
difference!
The very first step in successfully becoming a PMF is paying
attention to the details of the application and assessment process.
Applying for Federal Government jobs can be a lengthy process; and
though we've done everything we can to streamline the process,
there are still rules and regulations we must follow to ensure fair
and merit-based selections. Below is an approximate
timeline of the major steps in the process, as it relates to the
PMF Class of 2013's application cycle. Please note the
assessment process may impact dates shown below. The chart will be
updated accordingly. All timelines are subject to change.
As details become available, we will update this webpage.
