For residents of Jordan: The fully funded Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program by Fulbright in the United States.

The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program is a Fulbright program that builds connections between accomplished U.S. and foreign mid-level professionals in leadership positions to advance solutions to pressing global challenges, including combating climate change, protecting human rights, increasing access to education, and enhancing global health security. It provides a year of personalized academic experiences and professional development opportunities for participants.

Fellows also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in U.S. society and culture; this immersive experience strengthens mutual understanding and lays the foundation for enduring, productive relationships between Americans and their global counterparts. By exposing Fellows to diverse aspects of U.S. life, the program fosters cross-cultural dialogues and collaborations that continue long after the Fellowship year.

About Fulbright – Jordan

The Jordanian-American Commission for Educational Exchange, also known as the Fulbright Commission in Jordan, was established under a bilateral agreement signed in May 1993 between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the United States. The commission receives annual funding from both governments and operates as an independent, binational, and non-profit organization.

A binational board of four Jordanians and four Americans oversees its operations, with the Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the U.S. Ambassador serving as honorary co-chairs. The Fulbright Program in Jordan promotes educational and cultural exchange by offering competitive scholarships and fellowships to Jordanian and American students, teachers, and researchers to study, teach, and conduct research in each other’s countries. Selection is based on merit and a competitive application process.
