Answer
Hi India,
  The requirements to become an air traffic controller are on the FAA web site.   http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers/

Flight dispatch is not the same as air traffic control.  I don't know what the difference is, because I don't know exactly what a flight dispatcher does.  
Good Luck
