What is Fulbright-Hays?#FulbrightHays55 @GoGlobalED

2016 marks the 55th anniversary of the Fulbright-Hays Act. The Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the Fulbright-Hays Act, was enacted by the 87th U.S. Congress on September 21, 1961.

Senator J. William Fulbright and Representative Wayne Hays introduced the legislation, which represents the basic charter for U.S. government-sponsored educational and cultural exchange.

Current Fulbright-Hays Grant and Fellowship Programs

Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowships

The DDRA Program provides fellowship funding to doctoral students looking to perform research abroad in modern foreign languages and area studies in order to complete their dissertations. Recipients plan to pursue teaching careers in the U.S.

Group Projects Abroad (GPA) The GPA program supports K-12 teachers, college students, and faculty as they engage in short- and long-term overseas projects focused on training, research, and curriculum development in modern foreign languages and area studies.

Seminars Abroad The Seminars Abroad Program provides summer seminars for K-12 teachers, administrators, curriculum specialists, and college faculty in the fields of foreign languages, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Upon their return, participants complete curriculum projects for implementation in the classroom.

We encourage all individuals and institutions interested in international education and exchange to join us in celebrating 55 years of Fulbright-Hays. We have created this social media toolkit to help spread the word!
