Scholarship description
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program provides a year of professional enrichment in the United States for experienced professionals from designated countries throughout the world.

It brings young and mid-career professionals from these countries to the U.S.A for a year of non-degree graduate-level study, leadership development, and professional collaboration with U.S. counterparts. Fellows are selected based on their potential for leadership and their commitment to public service in either the public or private sector.

The Program is non-degree-granting. Participants may complete academic coursework at their host university to update their academic and professional knowledge in their field, but they do not receive an academic degree as a result of their participation in the program.
