Peru English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award in Peru provides opportunities for U.S. citizens to contribute their academic and professional expertise to students and professors at government-run high performance schools (COARS). ETAs work 20-25 hours per week in the classroom sharing their understanding of U.S. culture through educational, cultural, and social activities. In addition to their primary teaching responsibilities, ETAs are required to design and dedicate 10 hours per week to a socially-focused supplementary project aligned with their personal, career, or educational interests. The 9-month grant period typically runs from March to mid-December, beginning with a mandatory 5-day orientation in Lima organized by the Fulbright Commission. ETAs will be assigned to teaching positions in Lima or in Peruvian provinces, potentially in rural or urban areas. The program emphasizes cultural exchange and requires participants to submit monthly reports on their activities and progress to the Fulbright Commission in Peru.
