The goal of the Global Outreach Fund is to support English language teacher professionals who face personal and/or institutional financial constraints limiting their access to the professional development products and services offered by TESOL.
The TESOL Global Outreach Fund is supported by member donations. These donations enable members and nonmembers to apply for TESOL membership and professional development program scholarships.

Professional Development Scholarship
Practicing teachers or teacher trainers are eligible to apply for these scholarships if they reside in a country with a GNI of less than $15,000,
as determined by the United Nations, or receive little institutional funding for professional development activities. Scholarships are given to cover the registration fee for specific TESOL professional development events.
To apply, submit an online application with the following items:
- Statement of professional need/benefit addressing how the grant would benefit you personally and/or your place of employment, and expectations of how you would share this professional development knowledge with colleagues (maximum of 350 words)
- Professional CV
