The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program brings accomplished mid-career professionals with demonstrated leadership potential to the United States for a year of graduate-level non-degree academic coursework and professional development activities.
The program duration is ten months and includes academic coursework and an internship in a relevant professional organization. It aims to provide future leaders and policymakers with experience in U.S. society, culture, and professional fields, fostering lasting ties between Americans and international counterparts.
