Hubert H Humphrey Fellowship Pre-Academic Program

Welcometo the University of Kansas International Short Programs. Congratulations on your award of the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship. We are looking forward to meeting you and working with you during your time in Kansas.

Your program will provide necessary English language training, and academic, professional and cultural orientation to assist with your transition into U.S. academic and professional settings. Through structured and informal learning activities, you will enhance your English skills, deepen your understanding of American society and the parameters of research activities, and get to know the American Midwest and its citizens.

To assist you in your adjustment to the American cultural reality, cross-cultural awareness and an appreciation of the dimensions of cultural diversity in the U.S. will be a component of the program. You will also have opportunities to meet a variety of members of the university faculty and local community in support of this intellectual and personal adjustment.

We hope the information on this site will answer all of your questions. If you need more information, please email your question to isp@ku.edu.

Expect to be busy, learn a lot and have fun inKansas!
