As a recent non-traditional college graduate, I was excited to learn of the possibility to use my degree to teach English in a foreign country. The opportunity to teach someone else while also learning a foreign language and culture really appeals to me. After doing some research, I applied with Amity Corporation and have just received the news that I have been hired to teach English in Japan.

While I will be able to take on this endeavor, I�m not all that well-off financially. In the process of researching this position, I came across at least one Web site that offers grants for people who have secured their own positions overseas (the InterExchange Foundation�s Christianson Grant for instance). However, this grant requires that the individual be between the ages of 18 and 28 and I am 31-years-old.

So my question is this: does anyone know of any similar grants available to ESL teachers?

Thanks!
