Sponsored by Hilton Worldwide, the Hilton Teacher Treks Program is now accepting applications for its second annual competition. The program, developed last year in partnership with IIE, will fund 15 K-12 teachers to travel, enrich their curriculum, and foster greater understanding between the United States and other countries. This year's program has two unique tracks for travel in the summer of 2014: the Travel Grant and the Teach Abroad Grant.

Applicants for the Hilton Worldwide Teacher Treks Program must be U.S. citizens at the time of application, be fluent in English, be a K-12 classroom teacher currently employed full-time at an accredited school in the U.S. and must have taught for at least three years at the time of application.
