Deadline: 31-Jul-22
The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine is seeking application for its Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program for Mid-Career Professionals.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship provides non-degree academic study and related professional experiences in the United States to mid-career professionals in specified fields. The Fellowship offers valuable opportunities for professional development through selected university courses (duration: 9 months), conference attendance, networking, and mandatory practical work experiences (duration: 3 months). During the year, Fellows pursue both their individual program goals and work closely with their Humphrey colleagues in workshops and seminars.
Eighteen major universities in the United States host Humphrey Fellows. These host universities are chosen for their excellence in the Program’s designated fields of study and for the resources and support they offer Humphrey Fellows.
The Humphrey Program’s primary funding is provided by the U.S. Congress through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. The Institute of International Education (IIE) assists the U.S. Department of State in administering the Humphrey Fellowship Program.
