Founded
in 1978 in honor of the late Senator and Vice-president,
the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program brings
accomplished mid-level professionals from designated
countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the
Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe, and Eurasia
to the United States for a year of study and professional
experience.
The program encourages a variety of U.S. and foreign
partnerships worldwide. Fellowships are awarded
competitively to candidates with a commitment
to public service in both the public and private
sectors, specifically in the fields of natural
resources and environmental management, public
policy analysis and administration, law and human
rights, finance and banking, economic development,
agricultural development/economics, human resource
management, urban and regional planning, public
health policy and management, technology policy
and management, educational planning, teaching

and drug abuse epidemiology, education, treatment
and prevention
Fellowships are limited to one academic year,
preceded if appropriate, by English language training.
The program provides coursework combined with
professional enrichment activities tailored to
each Fellow's interests.
Fellows are grouped at carefully selected U.S.
host institutions with Humphrey Coordinators and
advisers who provide academic and administrative
support to each Fellow on individualized program
design and implementation. Fellows attend a workshop
in Washington, D.C. to interact with leaders from
the U.S. federal government, multinational organizations,
and the private sector. Throughout the year, Fellows
engage in a variety of professional activities,
including site visits and workshops
The Humphrey Program is a Fulbright Exchange activity
funded by the Department of State and administered
by the Institute of International Education (IIE).
Since 1978, more than 3,122 Fellows from over
120 countries have participated in the program.

organizations in the field of cultural and educational
