The Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Semester Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE). Fulbright grants are awarded to students, researchers, scholars, and teachers from the United States and to foreign nationals to study, teach, or conduct research. That is all from the website.
I wrote a proposal, talked to my principal, and went on with my life. An email from the Fulbright program came as a surprise, months later.
The award includes placement with a faculty advisor at an international university, living expenses, access to resources, and--most vitally--time to pursue independent research. Intangible but as important is the validation and support for my work. Only 35 US teachers, out of thousands, received the DAT for 2018. I met them, and am impressed beyond measure with their inspiration, innovation, and intellect. To be among the select few humbles, startles, and thrills me.
