Fellows, as a rule, are selected at an early stage, in the middle of their careers, in various sectors - in governments, business, the media, non-governmental organizations, education, religious organizations, the armed forces, the humanities and art [2] . The program is designed to help fellows expand their professional and personal horizons and prepare for the role of leaders. Program training is held every fall, from mid-August to mid-December.

History
In 2001, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of Yale University, President of the University Richard K. Levin put forward a number of initiatives aimed at strengthening international influence at Yale University. Yale University's worldwide scholarship program was one of them, and since then it has become a hallmark of the university's international leadership training program, with a steadily growing international reputation. The first set of scholarship holders was assembled in New Haven in the fall of 2002, and now the university boasts more than 150 rising leaders around the world, representing 74 countries. These are true innovators with an active lifestyle - from high-ranking government officials and members of parliament to activist practitioners, research journalists, leading artists and promising businessmen.
Main objectives
Yale University's worldwide scholarship program has three main objectives:
- Expanding the knowledge base and strengthening leadership skills of a number of promising leaders from around the world.
