The Harold Q. and Charlotte Mae Fuller Fund is an endowment established by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) to promote the internationalization of its membership. The fund specifically supports physics teachers in countries classified as low, lower-middle, or upper-middle income economies, as well as those in countries with nonconvertible currencies. Recipients are awarded two-year electronic AAPT memberships, granting access to the American Journal of Physics, The Physics Teacher, and Physics Today. The initiative is designed to connect international physics educators with resources and the broader AAPT community, ultimately promoting excellence in physics teaching worldwide.
