Eisenhower
In spring 2027, Eisenhower Fellowships will assemble a diverse group of visionaries from across the globe and invite them to the United States for a unique nearly six-week program with both in-person and virtual components. Fellows will develop a project, foster professional relationships and launch dynamic, concrete collaborations with their American counterparts, their class and the prestigious EF network of over 1,900 active Fellows.
Fellows are selected based on their track record of leadership, their potential for future impact and their commitment to lifelong engagement with Eisenhower Fellowships to advance our mission of enhancing international understanding through dialogue to build a world more peaceful, prosperous and just. Typically, Fellows range between 32 and 45 years of age at the time of fellowship and are highly proficient in English. EF seek Fellows who have the maturity to take advantage of the unique opportunity and represent Eisenhower Fellowships, as well as draw upon this experience to catapult them forward as impactful leaders for years to come. Applications are accepted across the globe but preference is given to candidates in countries where EF is active.
Applications are now open. The application timeline is as follows:
The in-person program will tentatively take place over five-and-a-half weeks from early April – mid-May 2027, during which selected Fellows will be required to make a full-time commitment to our in-person program in the United States.
The program is fully funded, providing Fellows with the opportunity to develop their projects, foster professional relationships, and launch dynamic collaborations with their American counterparts.
