Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program

The purpose of the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program is to promote 
mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the
peoples of other countries through educational exchange. The Program
provides opportunities for qualified educators to participate in direct
exchanges of positions with colleagues from other countries for six
weeks, a semester, or a full academic year.   

Eligibility: Elementary and secondary school, two-year college teachers
     and school administrators at these levels are eligible to apply for
     positions abroad. However, not all categories of applicants are
     eligible for all countries. To be eligible for the program, an
     applicant must meet all of the following seven requirements: 
     1) be a U.S. citizen;
     2) be fluent in English; 
     3)	hold at least a Bachelor's degree;
     4) have a current full-time teaching or administrative assignment
        in the U.S. or one of its territories; 
     5) be in at least the third year of full-time teaching or
	administration (teachers applying just for the seminar need to be
	only in their second full year); 
     6) have the approval of their school administration; and 
     7) not have participated in a Fulbright Teacher Exchange longer than
        eight weeks in the last two years (there is no required waiting 
        period for teachers who have participated in exchanges of eight weeks
        or less).

Award: Awards will vary from country to country and are described in 
     detail in the brochure. 
 
Deadline: Applications submitted by mail for the 2000-2001 academic year 
     must be postmarked by October 15, 1999.
