The Professional Fellows Program (PFP) is a two-way global exchange program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by American Councils for International Education. PFP brings emerging leaders in the fields of Governance and Society to the United States for intensive fellowships designed to broaden their professional expertise. Participants spend about six weeks in the United States, during which they receive hands-on experience in local government offices, private businesses, and non-profit organizations through carefully designed full-time fellowships. The application for the 2026 program is open now with a deadline of July 31, 2025.
