Selection Process
The process of selection for Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program comprises of five stages viz.:
Stage 1: National Screening
Stage 2: Screening by the Institute of International Education
Stage 3: Candidate Review Committees
Stage 4: Approval by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board
Stage 5: Placement of selected Humphrey Fellows
May I bring my family with me?
Fellows may choose to apply to have their family join them shortly after they have arrived in the U.S. However, careful consideration should be given to bringing one’s family. The Humphrey Program is very demanding, and Fellows spend considerable time away from their host campus. The Humphrey Program also does not provide an additional maintenance allowance for dependents. Fellows must show proof of financial support, adequate insurance coverage for their dependents that meets U.S. State Department requirements, and child care plans before they may be approved to apply for J-2 visa(s) for their dependents. Not all countries permit Humphrey Fellows to bring their dependents during their Fellowship year. Please check with the U.S. Embassy or Binational Fulbright Commission for country-specific policies.
May I choose the university I will go to?
Fellows are not able to choose which university they will attend. Rather, they are assigned in diverse groups of 7-15 to the most appropriate host institution based on their area of interest and professional field.
Application deadline
Application deadlines vary by country. The nominating U.S. Embassy or Binational Fulbright Commission will advise you of its internal deadline for receiving applications.
Embassies and Commissions must submit their nominations to the Institute of International Education office in Washington, DC by October 1.
