About this opportunity

The A.S. Hornby Educational Trust is offering a scholarship to support the teaching of English to refugees.

The scholarship supports experienced teachers who are themselves refugees, or who have previously held refugee status, and who are currently teaching English to refugees or asylum seekers in the UK.

The scholarship supports one teacher each year to study full time on the MEd in TESOL at the University of Exeter, covering tuition fees, providing a monthly living stipend, and supporting approved English language testing where required.

The scholarship holder will need to be based in Exeter for the duration of the MEd TESOL programme. The successful candidate will have the potential to make a significant future contribution to English language teaching in the context of language support for refugees.
