The J. William Fulbright-Hillary Rodham Clinton (Fulbright-Clinton) Fellowship is a component of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. Fulbright-Clinton Fellows serve in professional placements in foreign government ministries or institutions and gain hands-on public sector experience in participating foreign countries while simultaneously carrying out an academic research/study project. View the bios of current Fellows.
Inaugurated in 2012 as the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship, the program was renamed in 2013 to honor former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. U.S. Embassies, Fulbright Commissions, and host country governments coordinate appropriate professional placements for candidates in public policy areas including, but not limited to, public health, education, agriculture, justice, energy, environment, public finance, economic development, information technology, and communications.
2013-14 Fulbright-Clinton Fellows are being hosted by Bangladesh, Burma, Côte d’Ivoire, the Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Haiti, Kazakhstan, Malawi, Nepal and Samoa. The list of countries for the 2014-15 applicants will be available this fall.
