The Humphrey Fellowship Program offers a ten-month stay at a journalism college in the United States (US) to study journalism and undertake professional affiliations at US news organisations.
The programme includes financial support for studies, travel, workshops and seminars, a monthly stipend, funds for books, and a computer subsidy.
Applicants should have a minimum of five years of substantial professional experience, limited or no experience in the U.S., and demonstrated leadership qualities and commitment to their communities. Most applicants have English skills and undergraduate degrees, but some exceptions are allowed.
Humphrey Fellows from different professional fields are assigned to different United States (US) campuses. US host universities are selected through a competitive bidding process. Selection is based on the institution’s ability to develop specialised non-degree programmes for a diverse group of Fellows in one or more of the programme’s professional fields.
The deadline for application varies by country, but usually ranges from June to September for the following year.
