The Hubert H Humphrey Fellowship Program is for experienced professionals interested in strengthening their leadership skills through a mutual exchange of knowledge and understanding about issues of common concern in the United States and the Fellows’ home countries. The programme provides ten months of non-degree academic study and related professional experiences in the United States.
Fellows are selected based on their potential for leadership and their commitment to public service in either the public or the private sector. The Program offers Fellows valuable opportunities for leadership development and professional engagement with Americans and their counterparts from many nations.
Approximately 150 Fellowships are awarded annually. The Hubert H. Humphrey Scholarship Program are tenable at selected host universities in the United States. Host institutions are selected basing on their excellence in the Program’s designated fields of study and for the resources and support they offer Humphrey Fellows.
