Study abroad scholarship
A one-year non-degree programme for professionals with at least five years of public-sector experience, combining study at a US university with a professional placement.
United States — Full award: tuition, living stipend, airfare and a professional allowance
Humphrey is not a degree programme: recipients spend ten months in the US on coursework, a professional placement and networking. It targets mid-career people in the public or non-profit sector, not recent graduates.
Because no degree is awarded, selection leans heavily on experience and current role.
What the fund pays for. Exact amounts can change each round — check against the announcement for the open round.
Conditions published by the fund. Missing any one of these usually means rejection at the procedural stage, before the file reaches the selection panel.
At least five years of full-time work, usually in the public sector, an NGO or a social-impact business.
Holding a position of responsibility with scope to apply what you learn on return.
A bachelor degree. No master degree is required.
No recent long-term study in the US, per the rules of each round.
The documents usually required. Each round has its own official list published by the fund, so check again before submitting.
The language threshold is the first eligibility gate — the certificate must be valid at the time of submission. This is the part Wobridge Academy is responsible for and can measure.
Threshold required: TOEFL 71 · iBT
For anyone new to TOEFL iBT who needs a base in academic English and some practice on the computer before joining an exam class.
What you study
The four steps below are what the centre does with you. The award decision rests with the fund panel — the centre cannot influence it, and does not promise on their behalf.
Take a placement test to measure the gap between your current level and the language threshold this award requires, then set a study plan around the months left before the deadline.
Follow the plan with regular mock tests so progress stays measurable. This is the part the centre is responsible for.
Read through essays, reference letters and transcript conversions before submission, checked against the document list the fund publishes for the open round.
Submit on time through the fund portal, then record the application number and response milestones. The award decision rests with the fund panel.
A certificate of completion, a professional placement and an international peer network. If a master degree is the goal, Fulbright is the fitting award instead.
No. The certificate must be valid at the time of submission, and most funds reject incomplete files. Test early so there are enough months left to train.
The centre teaches the language and reviews the file before submission. Essays and reference letters must still be your own — panels recognise ghost-written work quickly.
