The Professional Fellows Program (PFP) is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. For Armenia, PFP is administered with a legislative focus and administered by American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS.
American Councils invites eligible young professionals to submit an online application by November 12, 2015 for this short-term professional development exchange in the United States.
