Mexico English Teaching Assistant Award

The U.S.-Mexico Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange (COMEXUS), along with the Mexican and U.S. governments, supports English language teaching and learning in Mexico through the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant program. Fulbright English Teaching Assistants are placed in Mexican public institutions to support English language learning for 20 to 25 hours per week for nine months. In addition to assisting English teachers in their host institution, grantees are expected to serve as cultural ambassadors for U.S. culture, actively engage with their host community, and foster mutual understanding between U.S. and Mexican cultures. Grantees are also expected to undertake a supplementary project for 10 to 15 hours per week to further engage with their host community. Fulbright grants in Mexico are also known as Fulbright-García Robles grants. The program runs from September 2026 to May 2027, with a mandatory Welcome Orientation in Mexico City during the last week of August 2026 and a mid-term reunion in early January. All fields of study are welcome, and candidates are not expected to have majored in English or Education related fields.
