2008 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Competition
Written by Suleman Shahid
Friday, 23 February 2007
2008 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Competition Application Deadline: June
11, 2007 Program Summary The United States Educational Foundation in
Pakistan, a bi-national commission, invites applications for the Hubert H.
Humphrey Program. The Humphrey program seeks to improve mutual understanding
between the people of the United States and the people of Pakistan. This
non- degree program brings mid-career professionals to the United States
for 10 months of academic study and an opportunity to work for a short
time with a U.S. organization in the same profession. Because a major goal
of this program is to increase mutual understanding between the people of
Pakistan and the people of the United States, Humphrey Fellows are expected
to share their knowledge of Pakistan with colleagues, friends, and community
groups in the U.S. and to share their experiences in the U.S. with
comparable groups in Pakistan on their return home.
