The Professional Fellows Division in the Office of Citizen Exchanges at the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites proposals for the FY 2018 Professional Fellows On- Demand Program.

- To create lasting partnerships between emerging leaders from foreign countries and the United States in specific and substantive areas of focus;
- To provide opportunities for foreign and American emerging leaders to collaborate and share ideas, approaches, and strategies regarding challenges to pressing issues;
- To enhance professional and leadership skills for both foreign and American participants to effect positive change in their workplaces and communities.
