Teacher Exchange Program
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, semester or six-week direct exchange of teaching positions with a counterpart in another country teaching the same subject(s) at the same level. Fulbright program staff in the U.S. and abroad match U.S. and overseas candidates in the spring of each year. Fulbright staff then propose matched-exchanges that each candidate and each school involved in the application process must approve before final selection to the program takes place.
The International Institute of the Graduate School, USDA has administered the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program since 1984. If you are interested in the programs listed on the Other Opportunities page of our website or you are a current (2008-2009) grantee of the Program, please contact us directly at 202.314.3520/fulbright@grad.usda.gov.
