The U.S. Fulbright Student Program offers incredible opportunities for early career
professionals of any age to jumpstart their careers by teaching English abroad for one academic
year – all expenses paid. As a Fulbright ETA (English Teaching Assistant) you would be assisting
the local English teacher–not in charge of the ESL program itself. In fact, you do not need ESL
training or teaching experience, although that would be a plus.
Study/Research grants are also available to students who design their own projects, such as a
writing a novel or conducting a research project. These grantees typically work with advisers at
foreign universities or other institutes of higher education in approximately 140 countries. You
can also pursue a graduate degree abroad, often with tuition expenses covered. Your Fulbright
award would then be contingent upon your acceptance at the chosen university. Over 140
countries offer Fulbright Grants, which are subsidized by the U.S. Department of State and open
to U. S. students, recent graduates, or early career professionals.
