Applications are invited for the 2006-2007 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Programme. This is a Fulbright programme that brings accomplished mid-career professionals from developing countries to the United States for study and related practical professional experiences. Fellows are nominated by the U.S. Embassy in Kingston based on their potential for national leadership. Please note that this program is not designed to lead to a degree. Rather, Fellows pursue tailored study programs at participating U.S. institutions. There is no provision for Fellows to request a particular university for placement. Prospective Fellows should be policy – rather than research – oriented, with a minimum professional experience of five years, and should be between the ages of 35 and 45. Preference will be given to applicants who have not lived, studied, or worked overseas within the last five years.
Preliminary application forms are available from the Office of Public Affairs (OPA), American Embassy, First Floor, NCB Towers (South Tower), 2 Oxford Road, Kingston 5. Completed applications should be returned to OPA by Friday, August 26, 2005. Interviews of pre-screened candidates will be held in OPA on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2005.
For clarification on any aspect of the program, please contact Mrs. Angella Harvey, the Embassy’s Cultural Affairs Specialist, by telephone at 935-6007 or 935-6053, Ext. 2323, by e-mail at harveyae@state.gov or by fax at 929-3637.
