Grants

Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching: Although IIE was the organization that ran my travel grant, IREX has taken over the semester Fulbright program. Go here to learn more about what countries participate and how to apply for 3-5 months abroad.

Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms: In July 2018, I was able to spend three weeks in Colombia after completing a semester-long online course about global citizenship education. It was amazing being hosted by a school in Bucaramanga, where I made some amazing student and teacher connections. Check it out and learn how to apply.

National Geographic: Nat Geo made another list here, but I know educators that have received grants, which is a feat I hope to achieve one day. Check out this link to find out what types of grants you may be eligible for, how to apply, and examples of projects that have been funded in the past. They also have professional development opportunities that can lead to unique opportunities like the Grosvenor Fellowship.

PolarTrec: Ever wanted to visit the poles? This may be the program for you. Check out some of the videos and blogs of past participants and learn about how you can take part in ongoing environmental field research.
