Apply Now to the Fiscal Year 2022 Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program!

Application Deadline: Dec. 28, 2021

FY21 Iceland SA participants

The Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad program provides U.S. educators in the arts, social sciences and humanities with opportunities to participate in short-term seminars abroad to improve their understanding and knowledge of the peoples and cultures of other countries. In 2022, summer seminars will be offered in the Philippines, Hungary, Norway, and Germany. 

 

Each thematic seminar features educational lectures and interactive, cultural activities specifically designed for elementary, secondary, and postsecondary educators, including visits to local schools and organizations and meetings with education administrators, government officials, policymakers, teachers, and students. Participants draw on their experiences during the program to create new or to enhance existing cross-cultural curricula for use in their U.S. classrooms and school systems. Sixteen educators participate in each seminar. The Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad program covers airfare, room and board, and program costs. Teacher participants are responsible for a cost-share of $650.


Please note that seminars are contingent on congressional funding, and travel dates could be postponed due to international travel restrictions that may be enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
