There are two types of Fulbright grants to Georgia
2 FULBRIGHT FULL GRANTS
Language Proficiency commensurate with the proposed course of study or research is expected by the beginning date of the grant.
Grant period 10 months. September to June.
Affiliation Applicants are encouraged to arrange affiliation and submit letters of invitation. In the absence of an invitation, they may indicate preferences for affiliation, if any. Final decisions regarding placement will be made by the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy.
Dependents The basic amount of the Fulbright grant is increased by $100 per month for grantees with one accompanying dependent and by $200 for grantees with two or more accompanying dependents.
2 FULBRIGHT ENGLISH TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS Language Knowledge of Russian or Georgian is helpful, but not expected.
Grant period 9 months. October to June.
Candidate profile Well-rounded, articulate candidates at all degree levels with an interest in international education and the initiative to teach conversational English at all levels. Undergraduate degrees in the humanities and social sciences, with a focus on English, American studies, or education, are preferred. Successful candidates will not just be teaching English, but explaining the U.S. to local citizens who have little contextual understanding of America. Previous teaching experience is not required but is helpful. Applicants must be native English-speakers.
Affiliation Affiliation is primarily at universities, but may be in schools or other venues where English language instruction is needed. Grantees will teach under the supervision of an experienced English instructor and will serve as a resource for conversation, vocabulary, and reading and writing courses. Grantees may also be involved with some educational advising and outreach.
Supplementary Project Grantees are expected to engage in other activities related to their personal, career, and/or educational interests. This may be an independent study/research project or other activity, which will not conflict with assigned teaching and advising responsibilities. Applicants should include a brief description of their supplementary projects in their Statement of Grant Purpose.
