 Posted: Tue May 12, 2015 10:11 pm Post subject: Graduate scholarships? |
 |
|
| I'm currently researching options for graduate scholarships in the areas of TESOL, languages or English. I've been accepted into an M.A. in Translation with TESOL program at a UK university. If anyone has any guidance or suggestions for finding TESOL-related scholarships, I would be very appreciative. Thanks! |

Self-funding is the way it is done now. People work for a few years somewhere dreadful to accumulate enough cash. And then go back to somewhere slightly less dreadful after they get their higher degree.
Is it worth it ? |

You can find a general list of scholarships for study in the UK here, but to be honest, there's very little support available for students in our field.

| Did you try your alma mater? I was able to get tuition discounts from mine as a returning student and recently received a scholarship through them for my field of study (educational technology). |

| I studied at the City University of New York but my university doesn't offer discounts to former students. It also doesn't offer graduate degrees in translation or in TESOL. In addition, studying in the USA is much more expensive than studying in England, even as a foreign student. I'll keep looking around. Thanks for any suggestions! |

In the US, most MA TESOL programs at universities that have an intensive English program offer a number of graduate teaching assistantships, which often offer a full tuition waiver and pay you a stipend to support your living expenses in exchange for teaching 2 or so courses. These are often somewhat competitive, but if you have some experience teaching abroad already, you'll be ahead of a lot of people. Such assistantships are great because you'll end up with little to no debt and also gain a couple years of university teaching experience in the US. |

At a public university, in-state tuition should typically be cheaper than paying foreign-tuition rates in the U.K. There are, of course, a handful of states that have exorbitant rates regardless of whether you're paying in-state or out-of-state tuition but, hopefully, those are not the ones where you've been looking at graduate programs. |
