Applications are invited for Eisenhower Fellowships available for individuals who have a demonstrated track record of significant professional and community achievements and who seek to tackle big challenges in the future. Eisenhower Fellowships seeks a diverse mix of applicants, ages 32-45, from a wide range of professional sectors. This is a seven week fellowship program which will take place from October 2-November 18, 2016 in USA.
Eisenhower Fellowships (EF) exists to inspire leaders around the world to challenge themselves to think beyond their current scope, to engage others, including those outside of their current networks, and to leverage their own talents to better the world around them. Chaired by General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret), EF brings two groups to the U.S. annually, each composed of approximately two dozen outstanding mid-career Fellows (ages 32 – 45), drawn from 53 different countries. Over a seven-week period, each Fellow receives an intensive, individually-designed program in his or her professional field. Fellows are interviewed by high-level in-country nominating committees and selected by a committee at the Eisenhower Fellowships’ headquarters in Philadelphia.
