Fulbright Teacher Exchanges

Fulbright Teacher Exchanges offer a variety of options for K–12 educators from the United States, and from primary and secondary schools in participating countries and territories. Fulbright Teacher Exchanges value applicants from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and types of schools.

For U.S. Educators: Fulbright Teacher Exchange participants equip their students with skills to successfully engage with the world by bringing an international perspective to U.S. schools. Each year we send nearly 120 educators from across the United States to participate in programs abroad from two weeks to six months. Accepted educators have a wide range of teaching experience in public, private, or charter schools. Successful applicants come from all backgrounds, and their applications demonstrate how the exchange experience will influence their teaching and their students going forward.

For non-U.S. Educators: Fulbright Teacher Exchanges bring primary and secondary educators from more than 85 countries and territories around the world to the United States for professional growth and learning. Participants have the opportunity to expand leadership skills and build mutual understanding within their U.S. host communities. The specific number of opportunities and program options depends on the location. The U.S. Embassy or Fulbright Commission in participating countries and territories have more information about available opportunities and application requirements.
