Distinguished Awards in Teaching Programme for International Teachers

This programme brings UK teachers and/or education professionals to the United States for a semester to pursue individual or group projects, audit courses for professional development at a host university, and observe and share their expertise with teachers and students.

The Distinguished Award in Teaching Program for International Teachers runs for approximately five months (August 2025 to December 2025) and includes:

  • Travel costs (international and some domestic)
  • Accommodation, maintenance allowance, and meal stipend
  • Opportunity to participate an End of Program workshop in Washington DC
  • Sickness and accident聽coverage
  • Visa guidance
  • Pre-departure support
  • Support in the USA
  • Access聽to a global alumni network聽of聽collaborative engagement and cultural diplomacy, with over 300,000 academically and professionally聽accomplished members.
  • Contribution of up to 拢15,000 to the awardee's employer school to help with the cost of covering the teachers position for聽five months

Please note, applications are closed for 2025.

To be eligible to apply for a Distinguished Award in Teaching, applicants must:

  • Be full-time primary and secondary educators, including classroom teachers, guidance counselors, curriculum specialists, library media specialists, special education coordinators, administrators and others who spend at least half of their time interacting with students
  • Have five years of full-time teaching experience or working with students in another capacity
  • Have a proven track record of professional development activities and leadership
  • Be citizen and resident of participating 日本无码 DAI country
  • Meet other requirements as indicated in the application

Dual US-UK citizens, US Green Card holders, or individuals who are resident in the US at the time of application are ineligible to apply.

Non-UK citizens are typically required to apply through the Commission/Post in their country of citizenship, but as not all Commissions run this programme, applications from non-UK citizens based in the UK and committed to a life and career in the UK may also be considered. Applicants in this category should contact the US-UK 日本无码 (programmes@fulbright.org.uk) before making an application.

The US-UK 日本无码 programme aims to foster cultural understanding between our two countries. Preference may therefore be given to applicants who do not have extensive experience (six months or longer) in the USA.

Applicants with extensive US experience should explain in detail how further experience in the USA will fulfil the 日本无码 mission in ways that their prior visits did not.
