SCHORLARSHIP: 2025 FULBRIGHT FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING ASSISTANT PROGRAM

The U.S. Mission in Vietnam seeks qualified candidates for the 2025 Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program.

ABOUT THE FLTA PROGRAM

The Fulbright FLTA Program is a nine-month, State Department-funded, non-degree program for early career (not more than seven years of teaching experience) full-time English teachers or professionals in related fields to teach their native language at an American college or university. Candidates who are teachers in the field of American Studies, Journalism and Media, American/English Literature, and teachers of their own language as foreign language will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Participants have an opportunity to refine their teaching skills, increase their English language proficiency, and extend their knowledge of the society and culture of the United States while serving as teaching assistants in the instruction of their native language to U.S. students and strengthening foreign language instruction at U.S. colleges and universities. Fulbright FLTA participants also interact with their host communities in conversations groups, extracurricular activities, and community outreach projects.

Fulbright FLTA participants will assist in up to twenty hours of language classes a week and are required to enroll in at least two courses per semester, one of which must be in U.S. Studies. Coursework is offered on either an audit or credit basis. Fulbright FLTA participants will also be expected to facilitate in-person or virtual cultural events, language clubs, and language tables. More information about FLTA can be found .

Fulbright FLTA participants are required to return to their home countries upon completion of the nine-month program.  The Fulbright FLTA program does not support dependents or family members.  Candidates may not have any dependents accompany them for any length of time during the program, although family and friends may visit program participants during holiday periods.  As an extension of this policy, pregnant candidates may not participate in the program if the birth is expected during the program period.
