The IOE includes the tuition fees of the recipient for the Postgraduate Student Award, and stipends for a full-time master’s level study of one year. The IOE Fulbright Award is an incredibly prestigious award, which draws applicants from a world-class category.
Successful candidates receive a Fulbright scholarship for the Distinguished Teacher Award to fund their travel, lodging and food for the duration of the award. The IOE offers student mentoring and a variety of support and guidance.
