Hornby Scholarship for Teachers of English to Refugees
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.
