Eisenhower Fellowships (EF) is excited to announce the 2025 Southeast Asia Program, inviting 20-25 exceptional leaders from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam to join a nearly six-week transformational fellowship experience in the United States.
This prestigious program combines in-person and virtual components, offering Fellows the opportunity to:
- Develop impactful projects.

To be considered, applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Citizenship and Residency: Must hold citizenship or have resided for at least five years in one of the seven eligible Southeast Asian countries where EF is active. (Applicants living in the U.S. are ineligible.)

- Travel Restrictions: Children are not allowed on fellowship, and EF does not fund spousal travel.
- Prior Fellowships: Applicants who participated in any fellowship within the past two years are ineligible.
- Application Essays: Use of generative AI/ChatGPT is strictly prohibited in essay submissions; suspected use will result in disqualification.
