Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program 2027

Details

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. Fellows are selected based on their potential for leadership and their commitment to public service in either the public or private sector.

Rather than pursuing a degree, Humphrey Fellows participate in non-degree study at leading U.S. universities and gain practical experience through professional affiliations (internships/shadowing) with U.S. organizations.

What the Fellowship Covers

This is a fully funded grant from the U.S. government that covers all essential costs:

• Tuition and Fees: Full coverage at the assigned host university.
• Language Training: Pre-academic English language training, if required.
• Living Allowance: A monthly maintenance stipend, plus a one-time settling-in allowance.
• Insurance: Accident and sickness coverage.
• Travel: Round-trip international flights and domestic travel to program events.
• Professional Allowance: Funds for books, computers, and professional activities (like attending conferences).

Eligibility Requirements

• Experience: A minimum of five years of full-time, professional experience.
• Education: An undergraduate (first university or Bachelor's) degree.
• Record: Limited or no prior experience in the United States.
• Leadership: Demonstrated leadership qualities and a record of public service.
• Language: English language ability (TOEFL may be required).
