Supporting Central and Eastern European students and young professionals
for study in U.S. graduate programs and professional development through
open, merit-based competition. Participants come from Albania, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania,

The Ron Brown Fellowship program confers graduate degrees and practical
training for qualified applicants in certain fields.  The program was
established in 1994 as the Central and Eastern European Graduate Fellowship
Program and was renamed in 1996 in honor of the U.S. Secretary of Commerce
Ronald H. Brown, who died in Croatia while promoting U.S. business
interests
in the Balkans.  The program reflects the late Secretary's commitment to
building democracy in the region and strengthening the global economy.

The Ron Brown Fellowship program seeks candidates with leadership skills,
English proficiency, high academic qualifications, relevant professional
experience, and a commitment to return to their home country upon
completion
of the program.  Since 1994, the program has selected more than 200
individuals from Central and Eastern Europe who have participated in the
program's unique blend of rigorous academic work at leading U.S.
universities and three-months of professional development experience.
