The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce the 2023-24 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program competition. The application deadline is Friday, May 20, 2022, at 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time (5:59 AM Central Africa Time). Applications must be submitted online at https://apply.iie.org/huberthhumphrey
Program Overview: The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship is a one-year non-degree graduate-level study and professional development program for accomplished young and mid-career professionals with proven track record leadership, public service commitment, and the capacity to take full advantage of a self-defined program of independent study. Throughout the year, Fellows pursue individual program goals through university coursework, conferences, networking, and practical work experiences. Unlike a typical graduate school experience, the Program encourages Fellows to travel away from their host campus to learn more about American culture and network with their peers.
