The Embassy of the United States in China is currently seeking candidates for the 2004-2005 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program. The Humphrey Program brings accomplished professionals from developing countries to the U.S. at a mid-point in their careers for a year of study and related practical experience. Fellowships are granted competitively to public and private sector candidates who demonstrate leadership and a commitment to public service. The Humphrey Fellowship Program was initiated in 1978 to honor the memory and accomplishments of the late Senator and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Since 1978, over 2,600 Fellows from over 120 countries around the world have participated in the Humphrey program, including over 60 from China. Approximately 150 Fellowships are awarded each year worldwide.
Program Description
The Humphrey Program is not designed to lead to an academic degree. Rather, Humphrey Fellows undertake a one-year program of graduate-level academic study and professional development activities directly related to their professional needs and fields of interest. Humphrey Fellows are placed in theme-based clusters of approximately ten persons at U.S. universities. In recent years, host campuses have included: American University, Boston University, Cornell University, Emory
