Only undergraduate students from the four partner institutions are eligible to participate in the exchange program. Each selected student will be awarded approximately US$4,000, used to cover most of your costs including travel, living expenses, meals, and language training!

Though the program will be particularly beneficial to pre-service teachers, students in any major are encouraged to apply. Many students who are majoring in music, math, engineering, business, art (or other majors) will eventually become teachers. Whether you know now that you want to become a teacher, or would like to experience a bit of what it is like, we want to hear from you! We are looking for students with an interest in education, particularly in the application of a wide variety of technology tools in the K-12 classroom.

Students do not have to have previous experience with computing, programming, or any other type of technology/tool. You will also need to enroll in one or two Portuguese language courses before you begin your exchange - when we receive your application we will work with you in determining the appropriate courses to prepare you for the exchange.

Because many arrangements need to be made, students interested in the program are encouraged to submit an application. We will contact you to work out any questions regarding courses or your program of study. We are therefore interested in highly motivated students interested in developing valuable multicultural and technology skills in order to solve real-world educational problems. The application process will be competitive
