Announcing 2009-2010 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program
The Embassy of the United States of America in Tajikistan is pleased to announce that applications are now available for 2009-2010 Hubert H. Fellowship Program.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program is for experienced professionals interested in strengthening their leadership skills through a mutual exchange of knowledge and understanding about issues of common concern in the U.S. and Fellows’ home countries. As a non-degree program, the Fellowship offers valuable opportunities for professional development through selected university courses, attending conferences, networking, and practical work experiences. During the year, Fellows pursue both their individual program goals and work closely with their Humphrey colleagues in workshops and seminars. Unlike a typical graduate school experience, the program encourages Fellows to travel away from their host campus to learn more about American culture and to network with their American peers.
Eligible fields:
- Agricultural Development/Agricultural Economics
- Communications/Journalism
- Substance Abuse Education, Treatment and Prevention

Prospective Fellows should have a minimum of five years of professional experience, after completing a university degree, prior to August 2009 and should be interested in the policy aspects of their fields of specialization. Candidates must have completed a university degree program requiring at least four years of full-time study in order to qualify for participation in U.S. graduate study programs. Candidates should be proficient in both written and spoken English.
