Today, Congressman David Scott (D-GA) announced that Clayton State University will receive grants totaling $131,975 from the U.S. Department of Education’s Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad Program.

“I am proud to announce these funds for Clayton State University,” Congressman Scott said. “This grant will fund an important initiative to enhance the courses taught by our middle, high school, and college teachers in Georgia through travel abroad.”

The Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad Program supports overseas projects in training, research, and curriculum development in modern foreign languages and area studies for groups of teachers, students, and faculty engaged in a common endeavor. Projects may include short-term seminars, curriculum development, or group research or study.

Clayton State University will utilize the funds for dual seminars on cultural diversity and sensitivity that will culminate with travel by 15 teachers to South Africa or Malaysia and Singapore.
