The Humphrey Fellowship Program offers a ten-month stay at a leading
American university to study journalism and undertake professional
affiliations at top U.S. news organizations.

The non-degree program includes financial support for studies, travel,
workshops and seminars, a monthly stipend, funds for books and a computer
subsidy.

Fellows take classes in journalism, public affairs, government, or other
fields of their choice. Humphrey Fellows from different professional
fields are assigned to 15 different U.S. campuses. Most Humphrey
journalists are assigned to the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at
the University of Maryland, one of the top journalism programs in the U.S.
Fellows participate in field trips, workshops, lectures and many other
offerings available in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area, only a
30-minute subway ride away. Fellows often use some of their professional
stipend for travel within the U.S.

Applicants should have a minimum of five years of substantial professional
experience, limited or no experience in the U.S., demonstrated leadership
qualities and commitment to their communities. Most applicants have good
English skills and university degrees.

To apply: Contact the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy or the
Fulbright Commission in your home country.

Deadline: Varies by country, but usually June to September for the
following year (Now for the 2009-2010 year.)
