Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program

Category: fulbright grants and Scholarship for PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS
Fulbright Teacher and Administrator Exchange Program, administered by the U.S. Dept. of State

Since 1946, the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program has helped nearly 23,000 teachers and administrators contribute to mutual understanding between the United States and countries around the world.

If you are a full-time U.S. teacher or administrator, you may be eligible to apply to the regular program.

For U.S. teachers, this opportunity involves a year or semester direct exchange with a counterpart in another country teaching the same subject(s) at the same level. Fulbright program staff in the U.S. and abroad matches U.S. and overseas candidates in the spring of each year. Fulbright staff then proposes matched-exchanges that each candidate and each school involved in the application process must approve before final selection to the program takes place. For more information about the grant process, see Selection and Grant Details. For a country listing of teacher exchanges and more information about country choices, see Country Index (Teacher Exchanges).

For U.S. administrators, the Fulbright program offers non-simultaneous work-shadowing assignments with an overseas counterpart. These exchanges may be from four to six weeks in length, but each partner must exchange to the other's school during the same academic year. For a country listing and more information about these opportunities, see Administrator Exchanges.

The application deadline for direct exchanges is October 16, 2006 for the 2007-2008 academic year. You may use the online application for the regular Teacher or Administrator exchange programs. (Click on Sign In in the upper lefthand corner of this web-site). Your online application may be easily updated and re-submitted in subsequent years. You also may either download or request a paper copy of the application (See Applying to the Program).

Observational study programs: In addition, the Fulbright program encourages U.S. schools to host overseas teachers and administrators coming on two to four week observational study programs in the United States. U.S. administrators and teachers may also apply for observational study programs offered overseas. These Teacher and Administrator programs have special deadlines and are listed on our Other Opportunities page during the time when we are accepting applications. You may not use the Fulbright Teacher Exchange online application for these short term programs. Candidate applications and hosting applications are available to download under each Fulbright short term program announcement.

Fulbright e-mail accounts are available to those currently on exchange. Be sure to have your username and password ready.
