Grants unriPr this programand the related programs included in this brochure aresubject to the availability of funds from the sourcesindicated.

The Board of Foreign Scholarships

The Board of Foreign Scholarships gives policydirection to the Fulbright-Hays program, makes the finalselection of grantees, and supervises the planning andoperation of the program. Appointed by the President,.the Board is composed of 12 prominent American citizensactive in educational and cultural affairs. A secre-tariat for the Board of Foreign Scholarships is providedby the Department of State.

The Department of State

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of theDepartment of State.has general responsibility for mostof the educat7!ona1 and cultural exchange programs author-ized by the Fulbright-Hays Act. To help administer theFulbright-Hays programs abroad, binational educationalcommissions or foundations have been established in manycountries.

Twenty of the countries involved cooperate in finan-cing the Fulbright-Hays exchange program. The followingcountries where there are opportunities for teachers

- 2 -

under the program have joint financial arrangements withthe United States: Belgium, Denmark, Federal Republicof Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, and theUnited Kingdom. In other countries, the Embassy of theUnited States assumes administrative responsibility.

Within the United States the Department of State hasdesignated three agencies to help administer the educa-tional exchange program. These agendies and the typesof grants for which they are responsible are listed onthe inside back cover of this brochure.

The Office of Education

The Institute of International Strlies in the U.S.Office of Education helps administer the educationalexchange program for teachers. It publishes an annualannouncement of opportunities and conducts the nationalcompetition for the grants to be awarded. The Institutestaff reviews applications, arranges exchanges betweenAmerican and foreign teachers, and recommends Americancandidates to the Department of State and the Board ofForeign Scholarships for grants to teach or to attendseminars abroad.

TYPES OF ARRANGEMENTSFOR TEACHING ABROAD

Three types of arrangements have been made by theUnited States with various countries for Americanswishing to teach abroad. Arrangements I and II pro-vide for interchange (direct exchange) of positions byAmerican teachers and foreign teachers. Arrangement IIIprovides for one-way placement of American teachersabroad. In arrangements for interchanges, foreign tea-chers are recommended by the binational educational com-mission or foundation in their awn coutries. Americanschool officials are then asked to review and approvethe qualifications of foreign teachers who are proposedin exchange for American teachers.

Arrangement I: Interchange positions. withCanada and the United. Kingdom

The American teacher secures a leave of absence withpay. The school granting the leave must be willing toaccept a foreign teacher in exchange. The foreign tea-cher also secures a leave of absence with pay. In addi-tion, the British teachers receive a supplemental grantfrom their Ministry of Education and Stience,to assistin meeting the higher living costs in the United States.In short, each teacher is paid his or her regular salaryby his or her have school system. Teachers going toCanada or the United Kingdom are responsible for thefull cost of their transportation.

Arrangment II: Interchange positions withother countries

The American teacher secures a leave of absence with-out pay. The school must be willing to accept a foreignteacher in exchange and to pay the foreign teacher asalary based upon his training and experience and the

local salary schedule. The American and the foreignteachers receive grants to cover their round-trip trans-portation. While overseas, the American teacher receivesa maintenance allowance in lieu of salary in the currencyof the host county from the binational educational can -mission or foundation in that country. (American teachersin Switzerland receive no grants for round-trip trans-portation and are paid by the host schools.)
