The U.S. Embassy will arrange an in-country orientation with the participation of the embassy section representatives that will be relevant to the grantees' stay in the country.

Undergraduate degrees in the humanities and social sciences, with a focus on English, American studies, or education, are highly preferred. Successful candidates will not just be teaching English, but explaining the U.S. to local citizens who have little contextual understanding of America. Previous teaching experience is preferred.
