The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program for the 2010-2011 Academic Year
Deadline for applications is Thursday, August 20, 2009
The United States Embassy in Iraq is pleased to announce the annual competition for the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program. This one-year, full scholarship program is for midcareer professionals who have demonstrated leadership skills, a public service commitment, and the capacity to take full advantage of a self-defined program of independent study at a leading US university. The program leads to a certificate from the US Government but is not designed to deliver an advanced degree.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program brings accomplished professionals from the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and Eurasia to the UnitedStates at a midpoint in their careers for a year of study and professional experiences.
The Humphrey Program was established in 1978 to honor the memory and accomplishments of the late Senator and Vice President, Hubert H. Humphrey. Fellows are selected for their potential for national leadership and commitment to public service. The program provides a foundation for establishing lasting ties between citizens of the United States and their professional counterparts in other countries, fostering an exchange of knowledge and mutual understanding throughout the world. Fellowships are granted competitively to candidates with a commitment to public service in either the public or private sector.
