Description
The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition to manage the administration of the FY2022 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program, a Fulbright exchange. The program aims to enhance leadership among international professionals who collaborate to address local and global challenges. The fellowship consists of up to an academic year of non-degree graduate-level study at a U.S. host university and a professional affiliation at an organization in the United States. Key program components include recruitment, selection, and placement of Humphrey Fellows, participant monitoring, host institution selection and oversight, English language training, professional development activities, foreign policy priorities, alumni programming, and program evaluation.
• The program will fund approximately 145 Humphrey Fellows, including 135 Humphrey Fellows and at least one cohort of 10 Distinguished Humphrey Fellows.
• The fellowship will cover programmatic needs for the ECA-funded 2022-2023 class of Humphrey Fellows and at least one short-term Distinguished Humphrey Fellowship Program.
• The award recipient will be responsible for issuing DS-2019 forms to participants in this program.
• The recipient will be required to provide a recommendation on how to complete programming in line with the program objectives if travel restrictions or extenuating circumstances prevent fellows from traveling during the academic year.
