Reject Fulbright?

[410627]

Hello all--I need some serious advice. 

I was given Alternate status for a Fulbright ETA this April, I accepted a teaching position here in the states, but was just offered a Fulbright ETA position. I haven't yet signed a contract for the school, but I would feel terrible backtracking on that commitment. 

Any advice welcome.

I would say do not turn down a Fulbright. It is one of the most prestigious scholarships offered by the US Government (though recently it´s been diluted). It will open doors for you for the rest of your life. I was a Fulbrighter in 2012, and I´m still receiving opportunities (many more than I can take advantage of) because of it.

I would do the Fulbright. If you haven't signed a contract, then you haven't committed to the school yet. I view Fulbright as a life changing experience.

Do the Fulbright! The teaching position will likely understand.
