GENERAL INFORMATION/PROVISIONS
The Thailand-United States Educational Foundation (Fulbright Thailand) which helps administer the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program, a non-degree program for mid-career professionals in the Thai government and private organizations, invites applications from Thai citizens who have demonstrated leadership in public service for one year of non-degree study and practical work-related experience in the United States. For the 2021 academic year, the Foundation will recruit up to three (3) outstanding candidates.

PROGRAM FIELDS: The programs arranged for Humphrey Fellows are related to one of the following fields: Agricultural and Rural Development, Communications/Journalism, Substance Abuse Education, Prevention, and Treatment, Economic Development/Finance and Banking, Educational Administration, Planning and Policy, Higher Education Administration, HIV/AIDS Policy and Prevention, Human Resource Management, Law and Human Rights, Natural Resources Management/Environmental, Policy/Climate Change, Public Health Policy and Management, Public Policy Analysis and Public Administration, Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (Teacher Training or Curriculum Development), Technology Policy and Management, Trafficking in Persons Policy and Prevention, Urban and Regional Planning.

Applications of nominated candidates will be submitted to the Institute of International Education in Washington, D.C. for final review and selection.

Appropriate candidates are mid-career professionals in leadership positions who have a commitment to public service and the potential for professional advancement. They should be currently employed by national, local or regional government units or universities or by private sector organizations, with assurances of reemployment upon return.

The Humphrey Program is designed for those moving into positions of important responsibility and influence in their careers. Humphrey Fellows will be placed as non-degree students in graduate level courses in one of participating universities. Professional activities such as seminars, special research projects, field trips, attendance at professional association conferences, meetings with professional counterparts and professional affiliations with appropriate organizations provide fellows with practical experience in their fields outside the university setting. The emphasis is on broad-based program objectives that go beyond the acquisition or improvement of professional or technical skills alone.

FINANCIAL PROVISIONS: The Humphrey Fellowship provides a monthly maintenance allowance, a book and supplies allowance, tuition and fees when applicable, round-trip international travel to the host institution (and to the Fellow’s English-language training program when applicable) and domestic travel to Washington, D.C. for a special seminar. Supplementary funds are provided for professional activities such as field trips or attendance at conferences. Humphrey Fellowships are not renewable. The monthly maintenance allowance ranges from US$1,900 to 2,400 based on the cost of living in a given area of the United States. There will be no provision for dependents to accompany fellows, nor will fellows receive a separate allowance to support dependents.

GENERAL INFORMATION/ PROVISION

The Thailand-United States Educational Foundation (Fulbright) announces the competition for the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Program (FLTA), a non-degree program sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State (ECA). The FLTA Program invites applications from young Thai teachers of English or in training to become teachers of English to refine their teaching skills, increase their English language proficiency and extend their knowledge of the cultures and customs of the United States while strengthening the instruction of foreign language at U.S. colleges and universities for nine months.

Fulbright FLTA participants may assist in up to twenty hours of Thai language classes a week and are
required to enroll in at least two courses per semester, one of which must be in U.S. Studies. The remaining coursework must relate to their careers in English language teaching. Coursework is offered on either an audit or credit basis. Fulbright FLTA participants will also be expected to facilitate cultural events, language clubs, and language tables.

FLTA Program has a tremendous multiplier effect in the U.S. and in the home countries of the FLTA
participants. U.S. universities benefit from the presence of a native foreign language speaker on their
campuses. FLTA participants provide teaching assistance, by serving in various capacities. FLTA participants and U.S. students have the unique opportunity to learn about each other’s culture and to build mutual understanding between the U.S. and other countries. FLTA participants also take courses in U.S. studies and in the teaching of English as a foreign language. Upon completion of the program, they return home, teaching English at their home countries with a high proficiency in English and are able to speak with authenticity and authority about the United States, its values and its people.

The selection will be based on the candidates’ leadership skills, ability to motivate students to learn, and interest in teaching their native language and culture to U.S. students. Ideal candidates for the FLTA Program have a desire to meet people and become a part of their host community by participating in community events and campus activities. FLTA participants should also be creative and self-reliant team players, who are able to maintain excellent relationships with faculty, staff, and students. FLTA Program is demand-driven and final selection is dependent on the ability to match the requests of U.S. host institutions with the language skills of the applicant pool. Final selection and placement of Fulbright FLTA participants will be organized by the Institute of International Education (11E) in the U.S. Funding: All FLTA participants receive a monthly stipend, health insurance, and travel support. The U.S. host institutions provide tuition waivers to support the required coursework.
