Summary
During their stay at a host American university, Humphrey Fellows are invited to take graduate courses relevant to their professional interests. However, as the Humphrey Fellowship is not a degree program, participants spend a considerable portion of their time engaged in professional development activities, including consultations and affiliations with U.S. faculty and experts, field trips, workshops, research projects, and the development of practical, useful strategies that could be applied in the Fellows’ home countries.

Payment of tuition and fees at the assigned host university;
Pre-academic English language training, if required;

A Professional Development allowance for professional activities, such as field trips, professional visits and conferences.
