How to apply?

To complete the scholarship application process, the Host Institution must follow these steps:

1. Read the Terms of Reference and annexes carefully.. Read carefully the Annex 1 corresponding to the Operating Protocol for Host Institutions and the commitments they undertake when participating in the Fulbright ETA Program.
2. Create an account on our Fulbright Colombia Application Platform. Once created, you will receive an email to verify and activate your account (see Annex 2).
3. Complete the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program Registration Form (for institutions), cohort 2026, in accordance with the provisions set forth in each of the questions on our platform. This form will be enabled once you have completed the Registration Form indicated in the step. This space will allow you to complete the information on the action/work plan to be developed within the framework of the Scholarship, and the contact information of the person designated as the tutor for each requested assistant, which is a requirement within the framework of this call.
4. Each applicant institution must submit a duly signed institutional commitment letter for the application to be considered, through the Fulbright Colombia Application Portal, in the field of the form provided for uploading this document. Institutions that require or prefer to submit the duly signed Academic Cooperation Agreement at the same time may do so, but this will not be grounds for disqualification when applying. It will be a disqualifying requirement once the institution has been notified of its pre-selection and has a deadline to send the signed agreement along with the supporting legal documents. The template for the letter and agreement can be found in the application form under the corresponding item.
