Call for Applications for Cost-Share Funding Support of up to $600: Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program to Colombia

The Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Education and enables U.S. educators to participate in short-term seminars abroad that enhance their understanding about other countries and cultures for the purpose of internationalizing curriculum and courses.

The Program will be held for four weeks in June-July 2024 (exact dates to be determined) and include visits to cultural hubs and public and private universities in Barranquilla, Bogotá, Cali, Leticia, and Medellín.  

Participants are expected to provide $750 in cost-share to defray pre-departure orientation costs; passport and visa fees; inoculations; gifts for host country presenters and schools; short-term overseas insurance coverage; books and other curriculum materials; and personal expenses.
