Funding is provided to a non-profit organization to support program administration as well as coordinating program logistics. Funding supports activities such as publicity and recruitment, screening of participant applications, recruitment and selection of U.S. host institutions, communication with host institutions and recipients, payment of stipends, and the provision of enrichment and alumni activities. The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship, a Fulbright exchange, advances American interests by bringing influential professionals from priority countries to the United States to build strategic partnerships that advance shared interests and support U.S. foreign policy goals. Through graduate-level study and professional experiences at U.S. host universities and organizations, Humphrey Fellows gain practical insight into how American policies are developed and implemented, working alongside U.S. experts in their fields. Fellows are placed in multi-national thematic cohorts at U.S. host universities, where they gain skills that promote stability and economic growth, foster long-term cooperation with the United States on shared global challenges, and advance U.S. foreign policy interests. The Humphrey Fellowship Program provides approximately 114 current and future international leaders with professional collaboration, a personalized academic experience, and leadership development, while building lasting, productive ties in critical fields between Americans and their professional counterparts overseas. More than ten major universities in the United States serve as host campuses for Humphrey Fellows. These host universities are chosen via an open competition for their excellence in relevant Humphrey fields of study and for the resources and support they offer Humphrey Fellows. The program also supports one or two small cohorts of distinguished professionals to conduct a short-term exchange focused on pressing global priorities; a call for proposals to host short-term Distinguished Humphrey Fellows is launched approximately twice a year. Since its inception in 1979, the Humphrey Fellowship Program has hosted over 7,000 participants across 163 countries, who are serving as leaders in their countries and are creating a lasting impact globally to influence policy on critical issues.
