The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program
The Humphrey Fellowship, a Fulbright exchange, advances American interests by bringing influential professionals from priority countries to the United States to build strategic partnerships that advance shared interests and support U.S. foreign policy goals. Through graduate-level study and professional experiences at U.S. host universities and organizations, Humphrey Fellows gain practical insight into how American policies are developed and implemented, working alongside U.S. experts in their fields.
Humphrey Fellows and alumni develop expertise in fields critical to U.S. foreign policy and gain direct experience with American institutions, standards and perspectives. They use this knowledge to shape national policy, promote stability and foster long-term cooperation with the United States.
