Eisenhower Fellowships has three major fellowship programs each year and ongoing network activities:
The Multi Nation Program, the oldest and largest, brings together 25 emerging leaders from as many countries for two months of individually planned professional agendas. The Fellows travel throughout the United States to meet with relevant leaders in business, government, NGOs, journalism, and academia.
The Single Region Program, like the Multi Nation program, sends Fellows around the United States to confer with leading thinkers and doers in their fields; normally 20 emerging leaders from a particularly selected world region or country participate
The USA Program typically provides opportunities for 10-15 emerging leaders, currently from Philadelphia, the North Carolina Research Triangle, New England, and the field of agriculture, to spend 4-8 weeks meeting with professional peers and related contacts abroad.
The Common Interest Program is being piloted as a new approach for Eisenhower Fellowships, bringing together in 2007 some 30 leaders from 12 countries, including the United States, around the topic of Challenges of Urbanization.
The unique network of Eisenhower Fellows fosters connections among current and emerging leaders both within countries and regions and around the globe.
