The shortlisted teachers, after being selected by the universities, can apply for sponsorship under the FFT (Funding of Foreign Training) scheme of the EDMC.



Under this scheme, two teachers will be sponsored by the EDMC for training in the first year in an esteemed foreign university.



Presently, there are more than 5,000 educators in EDMC schools.

This scheme is applicable only to the educators who get admission to the top 100 institutions and universities. The teachers will have the option to choose subjects like special education, public education, the use of digital technology in education, and the development of education in international universities.



Each candidate will be eligible for financial assistance up to Rs.75 lakh.



In case a teacher couldn't complete the foreign degree/ diploma/ doctorate course, the candidate will have to refund/ return the entire amount to the EDMC.
