Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program

The Fulbright Hubert Humphrey Fellowship is specially designed for mid-career professionals who will help solve the world's most pressing problems. The Humphrey Fellowship connects Sri Lankans with Americans for a ten-month non-degree program of graduate level academic coursework and practical professional experiences.

Some awards also offer English training to facilitate the participation of applicants who may be excellent candidates but lack the necessary language skills. Candidates must be committed to public service that enhances Sri Lanka upon their return.
