The BBT Global Fellowship application is designed to identify educators who are ready to engage deeply in global learning, grow as reflective leaders, and translate international experiences into meaningful, lasting impact within their classrooms, schools, and communities. This page brings together the key materials you’ll need to understand the opportunity, prepare your submission, and make sure your application clearly communicates your purpose, readiness, and the kind of change you hope to spark when you return home.
Alongside the application, you’ll find a sample application and the official application rubric, which explains how submissions are evaluated across core areas like educational philosophy, professional growth, global mindset, and potential for classroom, school, or community impact. You’ll also find a fellowship overview and a districts benefits overview to help applicants and school partners understand what participation includes, how support can be structured, and how learning can be sustained and shared beyond the fellowship experience.
Before applying, we encourage you to review the sample application, and the application rubric to understand how submissions are evaluated—from educational purpose and professional readiness to global mindset and potential for impact. Use both resources together to guide your responses and submit the strongest application possible.
