Fulbright Program, English Teaching Assistantship (ETA)

Funded by the U.S. Department of State, these prestigious TEFL grants place Fulbrighters in over 80 countries, for stints of 9-12 months. Along with being an English Teaching Assistant (ETA) in a certain type of school, from primary to high schools, and even universities, you will work on a local cultural exchange project in your new community. The Fulbright TEFL scholarships cover housing, roundtrip airfare, health insurance, a living stipend, and more, depending on the country. Applicants don’t need a TEFL certificate, but qualifications vary by country, and may include some level of language experience.
