Humphrey Fellowship Program

Mission Statement

The Humphrey Fellowship, a Fulbright exchange, advances American interests by bringing influential professionals from priority countries to the United States to build strategic partnerships that advance shared interests and support U.S. foreign policy goals.  Through graduate-level study and professional experiences at U.S. host universities and organizations, Humphrey Fellows gain practical insight into how American policies are developed and implemented, working alongside U.S. experts in their fields.  

Program Overview

The Humphrey Fellowship Program cultivates relationships between government officials in targeted countries and the United States, creating a global network of U.S.-trained leaders who cooperate with the United States in areas such as combatting illicit drug trafficking, economic and trade partnerships, emerging technologies, law, and space governance.

Public Health Policy and Management

Humphrey Fellows at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health develop self-reliant and resilient local health systems in global health by addressing public health challenges, including preventing infectious disease outbreaks, through policy development, service delivery, surveillance, and institutional preparedness. Fellows serve as health policymakers, physicians, clinical managers, health educators, and practitioners, shaping policies that manage public health risks in ways that protect American lives and economic stability.

Funding and Administration

The Humphrey Fellowship Program is a Fulbright exchange activity sponsored by the U.S. Department of State with funding provided by the U.S. Government and administered by the Institute of International Education.
