Fulbright/French Government English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright Commission and the International Agency of the French Ministry of Education, France Education international, offer up to 11 awards for Fulbright English Teaching Assistants to France. These 11 Fulbright ETA awards are part of the general French Government English Teaching Assistantship program, and are enhanced with an additional monthly stipend, Fulbright enrichment programs, and guidance. Grantees will be placed as assistant teachers in English classes at French high schools or middle schools in priority education areas, which are defined in terms of socioeconomic backgrounds. Teaching assistants will be involved with assisting teachers in the fields of English language studies, history, geography, and American studies. ETA duties will be approximately 12 hours per week, and grantees will work with teachers in providing guidance on vocabulary and conversation practice linked to their track of studies. One of the 11 awards is designated for the Fulbright/French Government English Teaching-EducationUSA Advising Assistantship. This grantee will be placed in a partner high school in the Paris suburbs and at the Fulbright Commission's EducationUSA Advising Center. In addition to 12 hours of teaching per week, the grantee will spend up to 10 hours per week advising French students on studying in the U.S. and participating in EducationUSA outreach activities. Grants will run from October 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027 (7 months). Grantees will be required to attend a mandatory 2-day in-country orientation in late September, a 1-day check-in in late October, and a 2-day mid-year conference in February. Preference will be given to individuals with career interests in teaching, and those with experience in working with low-income and/or international populations.
