The 2003 Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program is an opportunity for U.S. primary and secondary teachers and administrators to participate in a three-week study visit to Japan. The program goals are to increase the level of understanding between the two countries and to provide a significant opportunity for professional development. The program is fully funded by the government of Japan.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens who are employed full-time in any discipline as a teacher or administrator for grades 1-12. To apply, individuals complete an application, including a two-part essay describing a plan for imparting the knowledge gained through the experience to their classrooms, schools or communities. At least two letters of reference as well as the approval and signature of the applicant's supervisor are required.
