For rising seniors, graduate students, and alumni-- if you've ever considered going overseas to teach English as a second language, you should learn about the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) award. This is a one-year program. Tech students have done very well in this competition, the funding is very generous, and the experiences are life changing. Students in any major are eligible. Although the deadline to apply is September 16, this is an application process you want to take very seriously and intentionally. If interested in learning about the ETA award, please attend the Info Session on 02/24. Information specifically on the ETA award is available at http://us.fulbrightonline.org/thinking_teaching.html
