The Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program provides short-term seminars abroad for U.S. educators in the social sciences and humanities to improve their understanding and knowledge of the peoples and cultures of other countries. The program offers educational lectures and activities specifically designed for the group, including visits to local schools and organizations, meetings with educators and students, and visits to cultural sites. Participants draw on their experiences during the program to create new, cross-cultural curricula for their classrooms and school systems back in the U.S.
In 2016, summer programs will be offered to Peru (K-8), India (9-12), and Senegal (post-secondary). The program covers airfare, lodging, and program costs. Participants should be prepared to pay a cost-share of up to $600.
Application deadline for 2016 seminars: December 9, 2015. You must apply online.
