Fulbright Teaching Excellence Program Details:
The Fulbright Teaching Exchange Program supports K–12 educators from the U.S. and from primary or secondary institutions in participating countries and regions. The program offers rigorous academic training in instructional innovation, technology integration, student-centered pedagogy, and content-based teaching.

Each participant is paired with a U.S. educator in their subject area and completes a field placement in a local American school. Cultural immersion activities are also included to deepen participants’ understanding of American society and their host communities.

Applicants may apply to the general TEA program or opt for a thematic cohort focusing on gender equity, environmental education, or media literacy.

Eligibility Requirements:
Criteria may vary by location, but candidates typically must:

• Be a full-time secondary school teacher serving a local student population

• Hold a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent

• Have at least five years of classroom teaching experience in English, EFL, mathematics, science, or social studies (including special education in those fields)

• Demonstrate English proficiency with a TOEFL score of 450 (paper-based) or equivalent

• Show commitment to continuing in the teaching profession after program completion

• Submit a complete and timely application

Note: Secondary teachers typically work with students aged 12–18. If an applicant teaches other grade levels, they must spend over 50% of their teaching time with middle or high school students to qualify.

Program Benefits:
The Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program is fully funded and covers academic expenses, travel, housing, insurance, and cultural activities—subject to the availability of funding.
