For Prospective International Fellows

Multi Nation, Single Region, and Common Interest programs offer a unique opportunity for emerging leaders aged 32-45 with a record of achievement and high potential for further advancements to broaden their horizons through the exchange of perspectives with U.S. leaders.

International Eisenhower Fellowships are awarded for a specific seven-week period and cannot be postponed. The programs typically involve visits to 8-10 cities and 50-60 individual appointments. Fellows join together for seminars at the beginning and end of each program, laying the foundation for life-long international friendships.

Candidates are identified by in-country Nominating Committees composed of Alumni Eisenhower Fellows and other eminent citizens. A Philadelphia-based committee makes final selections. Depending on the program, spouses who are conversant in English may be invited to accompany Fellows and participate. However, children are not permitted to accompany the Fellow.

APPLYING FOR AN INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP
Applications for international programs are made directly to the Nominating Committee in each participating country. Applications are not accepted in Philadelphia.
