What the grant funds
The Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), U.S. Department of State, announces an open competition for one cooperative agreement to administer the Office's Fulbright Teacher Exchange Programs in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024. For more than 75 years, Fulbright Teacher Exchanges have offered opportunities for educators to learn, teach, consult, observe, and collaborate in classrooms and schools abroad. Fulbright Teacher Exchanges provide professional learning programs for elementary and secondary (K-12) educators in the United States and around the world. Fulbright Teachers develop their educational practice and bring global knowledge, skills, and perspectives to their schools. These educators forge lasting connections that foster mutual understanding and prepare their students to be future leaders, equipped to collaborate with others around the world to address global challenges. Fulbright Teachers’ participation in these programs has a powerful multiplier effect in their classrooms, influencing millions of students around the world over the course of their careers. More specific information for each program component is provided below and in the Project Objectives, Goals, and Implementation (POGI) document. Fulbright Teacher Exchanges are part of the suite of offerings within the Fulbright Program. The Presidentially appointed J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FFSB) is responsible for the programs listed below, and establishes policies and procedures that govern the Fulbright program including overall policy guidelines and selection criteria which are available at the following website: https://eca.state.gov/fulbright/about-fulbright/fulbright-foreign-scholarship-board-ffsb/ffsb-policies. The FFSB is responsible for the final selection of all Fulbright candidates. Organizations must ensure compliance with all FFSB policies and procedures and fully and properly identify this program as both a Fulbright Program and a U.S. Department of State Program in all communications. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations or consortia or other combinations of eligible organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) may submit a proposal to cooperate with the Bureau in the administration of the FY 2024 Fulbright Teacher Exchange Programs. Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization.
