Journalism and communication professionals with limited experience in the U.S. are invited to apply for the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program for mid-career professionals.

The fellowship provides 10 months of non-degree academic study and related professional experiences in the U.S.

Participants from the following regions are eligibile: Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, Middle East and North Africa, East Asia and Pacific, South and Central Asia and the Western Hemisphere.

During the program, fellows pursue both their individual program goals and work closely with their Humphrey colleagues in workshops and seminars. Unlike a typical American graduate school experience, the program encourages fellows to travel away from their host campus to learn more about American culture and to network with their American peers.

Primary funding for the Humphrey Program is provided by the U.S. Congress through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.

Applicants are required to have at least an undergraduate degree, a minimum of five years of full-time, professional experience, limited or no prior experience in the United States, demonstrated leadership qualities, a commitment to public service in their community and fluent English.

There are rolling deadlines for different regions.
