The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program, which is a Fulbright program, brings accomplished mid-level professionals from developing countries to the United States for ten months of non-degree graduate study and related practical professional experiences. 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 program is designed to meet the requirements of policy makers, planners, administrators, and managers in the government, public and private sectors, and non-governmental organizations, who have a public service commitment, demonstrated leadership potential, and commitment to their own country's development. The fellowships are awarded in the fields of Agricultural and Rural Development; Communications/Journalism; Substance Abuse Education, Treatment and Prevention; Economic Development; Finance and Banking; Educational Administration, Planning and Policy; HIV/AIDS Policy and Prevention; Human Resource Management; Law and Human Rights; Natural Resources, Environmental Policy, and Climate Change; Public Health Policy and Management; Public Policy Analysis and Public Administration; Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (Teacher Training or Curriculum Development); Technology Policy and Management; Trafficking in Persons, Policy and Prevention; Urban and Regional Planning.  In case of "Teaching of English as a Foreign Language," applications are invited from curriculum specialists and teacher trainers who work in teacher training institutes, public or private organizations concerned with English language teaching and development. Applications from all the listed fields are welcome. Qualified women and candidates from minority and disadvantaged groups are encouraged to apply.

Appropriate candidates are mid-career professionals in leadership positions who have a commitment to public service and the potential for professional advancement. Candidates should demonstrate the required experience, skills, and commitment while also indicating how they can benefit from this program in ways that they have not experienced previously and are not likely to experience without the Humphrey program.

Candidates should be proficient in both written and spoken English and will be required to take Internet-based Test (iBT) of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

The Humphrey program is now offering a Long-Term English (LTE) language training opportunity to facilitate the participation of candidates from non-elite populations, rural areas, minority groups and others who may be excellent candidates but lack the necessary language skills. LTE participants will be brought to the US for an intensive 20-25 week pre-academic program to improve their language skills.

The Humphrey fellows undertake master's level work directly related to their professional needs and fields of interest but does not result in the awarding of a degree.  They are assigned in clusters of 8-15 to the institution offering the most appropriate program in their area of interest. These clusters are balanced geographically, permitting interaction among fellows from various countries. The host universities are chosen for their excellence in the Humphrey fields and for the resources and support they offer Humphrey Fellows. For 2009-2010, host universities were: American University, Washington College of Law; Boston University; Cornell University; Emory University, Rollins School of Public Health; Johns Hopkins University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Michigan State University; Pennsylvania State University; Syracuse University, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs; Tulane University; University of California, Davis; University of Maryland, College Park; University of Minnesota, Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs; University of Minnesota Law School; University of Washington; Vanderbilt University, Virginia Commonwealth University.  Placement at a specific university requested by a candidate cannot be arranged.
 
Programs arranged for the Humphrey fellows will begin in August 2011. They include academic course work at the master's level, and place considerable emphasis on such activities as seminars, special projects, field trips, attendance at professional meetings and conferences, networking with professional counterparts, and professional affiliations with appropriate organizations. These activities provide fellows with practical experience in their fields outside the university setting. Each fellow designs his/her individual program with the Humphrey coordinator's assistance.

During their Humphrey year, fellows are expected to be resourceful, display initiative, and network with US organizations and professionals. 

All fellows participate in a one-week workshop at Washington, D.C. in October, 2011.

Humphrey/ National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Fellowships

These fellowships are designed to provide training in prevention research, epidemiology, treatment and substance abuse policy research. Candidates should be mid-level research managers and policy makers in drug abuse prevention programs, health or social services industries, universities or medical facilities with proven track records in research. Professionals employed by social welfare, education or community-based organizations may also apply if they meet other eligibility criteria.
 
Grant Benefits
A Humphrey fellowship provides tuition and fees, a monthly maintenance allowance, Accident and Sickness Program for Exchanges per US Government guidelines, a modest allowance for books and supplies, round-trip international air travel to the host institution, domestic travel to the Washington, D.C. workshop, and allowances for professional activities such as field trips, professional visits, and conferences. These fellowships do not provide an allowance for dependents, and the stipend provided under the grant is not sufficient to support family members. The program will involve a number of activities where it will be difficult to include dependents.

Eligibility Requirements
In addition to the General Prerequisites, the applicant should:

  • preferably have a master's degree or a professional degree of at least four years' duration. In case of NIDA fellowships, applicants should have a doctoral degree in health, behavioral or social sciences (Ph.D. or an equivalent), or a M.D. (Doctor of Medicine);
  • have at least five years of substantial professional experience in the respective field, and be eligible for leave;
  • have demonstrated leadership qualities;
  • have a record of public service in the community; and
  • give an undertaking to return to India on completion of the fellowship.
