Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program

The Evans School of Public Affairs hosts between 12 and 14 midcareer professionals from around the world every year through the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program. The fellows take part in one year of advanced non-degree study to gain hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge of how the U.S. approaches work in their professional fields.

The University of Washington is one of only 15 universities in the U.S. where Humphrey fellows are placed, and has hosted more than 230 fellows from at least 90 different nations since 1987.  For the Evans School, this has provided an invaluable resource of international perspectives on public policy issues that cross national boundaries.

The Humphrey Fellowship program is administered by the Institute of International Education and primarily supported by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
