fullbright teaching assistants colombia....

There are Fullbright opportunities in Colombia....don't remember the website....google it and you will find it.....I mention this since so many in this forum are seeking some sort of employment/support in Colombia...I never seem to qualify for this US government $# at ! at #$ or at least there is always some 4%$# at reason that I figure why bother....I don't like the USAID or the State Department!

They said I couldn't play football I was too small / They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall / They say I couldn't play baseball at all / And now everyday of my life I ball.

My wife's Colombian sister in law is on a Fulbright. She is working on her doctorate at a university in Arizona.

That website is for Colombians wanting to do fulbrights out of the country... If you are an American and want to do a Fulbright in the country, you have to propose a research project and get chosen by the Fulbright committe - very involved and difficult application process I believe. My impression is that it is also highly selective especially as there are more and more students considering Colombia as an option.

I dont think there are any teaching English assistantships available through Fulbright Colombia as there are in lots of European countries.
