Scholarship Opportunity: Hubert Humphrey Fellowship

The U.S. Embassy Tunis has many opportunities for Tunisians who wish to live and study in the United States. One of them is the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program. It’s a nine-month academic and professional study program for mid-career professionals in a variety of fields. The fellowship usually includes a practical internship.

Fellows are nominated by U.S. Embassies based on their potential for leadership and a demonstrated commitment to public service. The fellowship fosters an exchange of knowledge and mutual understanding, through which the United States joins in a significant partnership with foreign countries.
The fields covered by the fellowship are:

• Economic development/finance and banking
