The U.S. Embassy in Ghana is pleased to announce the annual competition for the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program – a 10-month Fellowship program for young and mid-career professionals who have a proven track record of leadership, a public service commitment, and the capacity to maximize a self-defined program of independent non-degree study at a leading U.S. university.
The program awards a certificate from the U.S. Government; it is not designed to deliver an advanced degree.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program brings accomplished professionals from designated countries around the world to the United States at a midpoint in their careers for ten months of graduate-level academic course work and professional development activities. The Humphrey Program was established to honor the memory and accomplishments of the late Senator and Vice President, Hubert H. Humphrey. Fellows are selected on their potential for leadership and commitment to public service.
