Hungary English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Award in Hungary provides an opportunity for U.S. citizens to teach English and American culture at a Hungarian university with an American Studies program while also assisting EducationUSA centers and American Corners throughout Hungary. ETA grantees teach two to four courses per week, develop their own lesson plans, and manage their classrooms to improve students' English language skills. Additionally, grantees assist over 9,000 Hungarian and international students annually by providing individual counseling, leading workshops on CV and essay writing, TOEFL/SAT/GRE test preparation, participating in outreach activities and educational fairs, and managing social media channels. The grant period runs for 9 months from September 2026 through May 2027. Grantees receive a monthly stipend, travel benefits, health coverage, and participate in a comprehensive 4-day orientation in Budapest. Two placements are available: one in Budapest and one in a regional city. ETA grantees are also encouraged to engage in volunteer activities and may pursue optional supplementary research or study projects. This program offers a unique opportunity to experience Hungarian culture, which is located at the intersection of East and West in Central Europe, while making a meaningful contribution to international education and cultural exchange.
