Overview
The Ministry of Education and the Embassy of the United States of America are pleased to announce that the Government of the United States of America is offering the following scholarships for study in the United States.
Fulbright Scholarships
Fulbright Scholarships will be awarded under the J. William Fulbright Program for study in a two-year Master’s Degree program during the 2011 – 2013 academic years (July 2011 – June 2013). Individuals from both the public and the private sectors may apply. Female, minority and candidates from outside Vientiane are encouraged to apply. The Fulbright Program was established by the U.S. Congress in 1946 to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills. Fulbright grants will be awarded for graduate study at the master’s degree level in all fields of study except medicine. (Applications will be accepted in public health.)
Humphrey Fellowships
The Hubert H.

Fellowships will be granted for the 2011-2012 academic year (August 2011 – June 2012). Ideal candidates have a proven track record of leadership, a public service commitment, and the capacity to take full advantage of a self-defined program of independent study at a leading U.S. university.
The program awards a certificate from the U.S. Government; it is not designed to deliver an advanced degree. Professionals from both the public and the private sectors are eligible to apply.
