As part of its overall mission to expand and improve the teaching of K-12 Arabic in the United States, Qatar Foundation International (QFI) is pleased to offer Teacher Fellowship grants for current or prospective K-12 teachers to become certified in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language. Fellowships provide up to $25,000 toward tuition and fees for programs that will lead to licensure or certification to teach Arabic in U.S. public or public charter schools. Fellowships are awarded to three types of applicants:

•   Teacher candidates who are pursuing a Masters of Arts in Teaching (degree names vary by state and institution, but the result should be certification in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language);
•   Teachers who are already certified in another discipline and are seeking an endorsement to teach Arabic; or
•   Teacher candidates seeking certification to teach Arabic in the U.S. through any other recognized means, including undergraduate programs and alternative routes to certification.

The goal of QFI’s Teacher Fellowship program is to develop a strong cohort of highly trained teachers who will be leaders in the field of K-12 Arabic education, and the program provides participating teachers with significant professional development opportunities.

Application Opens – December 21, 2015
