Fulbright English Teaching Assistants (ETA) Program in Hong Kong and Macau |
The Fulbright Program has partnered with five universities in Hong Kong and Macau to host 29 Fulbright ETAs in the 2008-2009 academic year. We envision several new universities joining this partnership to host additional ETAs from the United States in 2009-2010. The HKAC works with the US Consulate in HK/Macau and the New York office of the Institute of International Education (IIE) to develop and administer these English teaching projects in local universities.

| The first cohort of sixteen ETAs was in HK in 2007-2008. Applications for the 2009-10 academic year are welcome at Institute of International Education (IIE). |
