For Prospective USA Fellows
The USA program provides overseas exposure of 4-7 weeks designed to enhance Fellows’ professional and personal growth, develop new contacts, and promote the exchange of ideas and international understanding. Fellows have meetings with leaders in their field, as well as cultural site visits and hospitality by local citizens.
USA Fellows are selected from four regional areas, Philadelphia, Research
Triangle North Carolina, New England, and St. Louis. One Fellow per year
is selected for an Agricultural Fellowship, the only fellowship currently
available nationwide. USA candidates must be U.S. citizens aged 32-45. Spouses
are encouraged to accompany Fellows, with limited professional appointments
provided for them. Because of the intense appointment and travel schedule,
children are not permitted on the program.
