The Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Short-Term (DAST) Program sends U.S. K–12 educators to participating countries to support projects in schools, teacher training colleges, government ministries, or educational nongovernmental organizations, as identified by U.S. Embassies and Fulbright Commissions. The Fulbright DAST Program participants complete short-term international projects, collaborate with colleagues abroad, and share educational policy and practice on a global scale. This program's projects cover a variety of disciplines, and program cycles may have varying numbers of projects available for application. Participants receive funding that covers project activities including international airfare, living expenses, meals, and an honorarium for the time in country. Host organizations support participants to find housing and transportation while on site.
