Deadline: 20-Jul-21
The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce the 2022-23 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program competition – a one-year non-degree graduate-level study and professional development program for accomplished young and mid-career professionals with proven track record leadership, public service commitment, and the capacity to take full advantage of a self-defined program of independent study.
Throughout the year, Fellows pursue individual program goals through university coursework, conferences, networking, and practical work experiences. Unlike a typical graduate school experience, the Program encourages Fellows to travel away from their host campus to learn more about American culture and network with their peers.
Fields of Study: The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program enhances leadership among international professionals who collaborate to address local and global challenges and foster change for our collective good. Through academic study and professional development with U.S. counterparts, this growing global network shares best practices and builds expertise in fields of critical importance to advance societal and institutional capacity, promote human rights and freedoms, ensure sustainable environments, and develop thriving communities.
Fellowship Provisions: Payment of tuition and fees at the assigned host university; Pre-academic English language training, if required; A living allowance, including a one-time settling-in allowance; Accident and sickness coverage; A book allowance; A one-time computer subsidy; Air travel (international travel to and from the U.S. for the Program and domestic travel to required program events); Professional Development allowance for professional activities.
Eligibility Criteria
- A Bachelor’s degree; A minimum of five years full-time professional experience; No prior or limited experience in the U.S.;
- Demonstrated leadership qualities;
- A record of public service; English language proficiency;
- Demonstrated experience in the field of study; and
- A written indication from the employer to approve leave of absence allowing selectees to participate in the program. Applicants cannot be immediate family members of a U.S. Embassy employee.
