The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship (“Humphrey Program”) was launched in 1978 to honor the accomplishments and memory of the late Senator of Minnesota and Vice-President of the United States, Hubert H. Humphrey.

The program is sponsored and overseen by the U.S. Department of State and administered by the International Institute of Education (IIE).

The Humphrey Program brings accomplished mid-career professionals from designated countries to the United States for one year of study and related professional experience at a U.S. institute of higher education.

During the fellowship year, Humphrey fellows participate in programs that combine graduate-level academic coursework with professional development activities.
