Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship is a well known Fulbright program for international students to study in USA. The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program brings accomplished professionals from designated countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Eurasia to the United States at a midpoint in their careers for a year of non-degree graduate level study, leadership development and professional collaboration with U.S. counterparts. The Humphrey program was initiated in 1978 to honor the memory and accomplishments of the late Senator and Vice-President of the United States, Hubert H. Humphrey.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program's primary sponsor is the United States Department of State. The Program is administered under a cooperative agreement with the Institute of International Education (IIE). These two agencies work in partnership with a network of host universities which are competitively selected to host Fellows. The recruitment for the Humphrey Fellowship Program is done by the U.S. Embassies or Fulbright Commissions in the participating countries.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program provides ten months of non-degree academic study and related professional experiences in the United States. Humphrey Fellows are selected based on their potential for leadership and their commitment to public service. The Humphrey Program fosters a mutual exchange of knowledge and understanding about issues of common concern in the United States and the Fellows home countries. The Program offers Fellows valuable opportunities for leadership development and professional engagement with Americans and their counterparts from many nations. Between 160 and 200 Fellowships are awarded annually. Eighteen major universities in the United States host Humphrey Fellows.

Please contact the Embassy or Commission in your country to learn of its selection criteria.
