The Fulbright-Clinton Fellowship provides opportunities for U.S. citizens to serve in professional placements in a foreign government ministry or institution within partner governments. Fulbright-Clinton fellows build mutual understanding and contribute to strengthening the public sector while gaining hands-on public sector experience. The Fulbright-Clinton Fellowship also includes an independent academic study/research component.
Fulbright-Clinton fellows function in a “special assistant” role for a senior level official. The goal of the professional placements is to build the fellows’ knowledge and skills, provide support to partner country institutions, and promote long-term ties between the U.S. and the partner country. The U.S. Embassy, with the Fulbright Commission (where applicable), will identify host ministries and provide administrative support and oversight during the fellow’s program.
Available Countries/Organizations

Requirements
Candidates must have a Master’s degree with an area of focus that is applicable to public policy, and two years of professional work experience.
