The Edmund S. Muskie Professional Fellowship Program is a professional development program funded by the U.S. Department of State that provides emerging leaders of the Fulbright Program from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia with the opportunity to gain real-world experience complementing and enriching their graduate studies in the United States. Applicants must currently be a Fulbright Foreign Student and must be currently studying towards a graduate degree at a U.S. college or university. Costs to participate in the program are covered by the grant, and participants will receive a stipend to cover living expenses in the cities in which their internship takes place.
