The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program for 2025–2026 is now accepting applications, as announced with pleasure by the American Embassy in Croatia.
This yearly program, which is a component of the Fulbright exchange for experienced mid-career professionals with proven leadership potential, provides a year in the US for graduate-level non-degree study, leadership development, and meaningful professional cooperation with US colleagues.
Through the initiative, Americans and their overseas professional counterparts can establish enduring and fruitful professional relationships by giving future leaders and policymakers exposure to American society, culture, and professional specialties.
Benefits of Fellowship to Fellows
The Humphrey Fellowship offers professional development opportunities to support fellows’ advancement and facilitate the formation of alliances that enable them to further their work. Humphrey Fellows use immersive learning, teamwork, and networking to broaden their perspectives on their profession and global concerns.
This includes attending high-profile events with researchers and policymakers, taking part in specialized experiences at U.S. community colleges, attending workshops that improve the skill sets of Fellows, and much more.
Humphrey Fellows are grouped in cohorts at one of the 13 Humphrey host universities according to the professional skills of the Fellows and the impact areas of the host university.
Humphrey Fellows participate in an educational program taught by distinguished academic members without the need to fulfill any degree or certificate prerequisites. This enables them to attend conferences, travel, network with American colleagues in their industry, and form professional affiliations.
