Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009474
The FY 2024 Fulbright Teacher Exchange Programs funding opportunity (SFOP0009474) is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) competition to select a single organization to administer Fulbright Teacher Exchanges through one cooperative agreement. These exchanges have operated for more than 75 years and are designed to give K-12 educators structured opportunities to learn, teach, consult, observe, and collaborate in schools abroad and in the United States. The overarching purpose is professional growth for educators and long-term relationship-building between U.S. schools and international partners, with the idea that teachers bring back global knowledge, skills, and perspectives that ultimately influence large numbers of students over the course of their careers.
The award is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals substantial federal involvement in key aspects of implementation (for example, coordination, oversight, and alignment with federal program requirements). ECA anticipates making one award, contingent on the availability of FY 2024 funds. The posted funding ceiling is $10,440,000, and ECA notes it may choose to fully fund, partially fund, or not fund specific program components. Applicants are told to treat any component-level dollar figures referenced in the solicitation materials as planning estimates that may change.
A central feature of this opportunity is that the program is part of the broader Fulbright Program and is governed by policies and procedures established by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FFSB). The FFSB sets Fulbright-wide guidelines and selection criteria, and it has final selection authority over all Fulbright candidates. The administering organization must therefore build program operations that comply with FFSB requirements and must consistently brand and describe the activity as both a Fulbright Program and a U.S. Department of State program in all communications and materials.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based entities that fit within the solicitation categories, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (including consortia or other combinations of eligible organizations). The applicant organization must be based in the United States if it is relying on 501(c)(3) eligibility. Only one proposal per applicant organization will be reviewed; if multiple submissions appear in Grants.gov, ECA will only consider the one submitted closest to the deadline.
From an implementation and budgeting standpoint, applicants are expected to submit a single consolidated budget that clearly breaks out costs by program component. ECA encourages applicants to design the work in a way that creates synergies across components, improves administrative efficiency, and leverages partnerships. That includes exploring public-private partnerships and other collaborations with U.S. for-profit and nonprofit entities, school districts, and education-sector stakeholders to expand support available to U.S. Fulbright educators. More detailed component-by-component requirements are referenced as being available in the Project Objectives, Goals, and Implementation (POGI) document associated with the notice.
