The Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching Program offers opportunities for primary and secondary school teachers, as well as professionals involved in teacher training, to study at an Indian research center or university. During the program, participants work on an inquiry project of their own design. They also have the opportunity to:

• Take advanced undergraduate or graduate-level courses
• Team-teach in local schools
• Conduct seminars or workshops for Indian teachers
• Engage in other teaching-related activities

Upon returning home, teachers are expected to share the knowledge and experiences gained from the program with their students, colleagues, and communities.

Program Duration 3-6 months
