The Walter Hines Page scholarship offers teachers the unique opportunity to explore and exchange educational ideas between Britain and America. Scholars are able to travel to the USA to study an aspect of education which is relevant to their own professional interests and development. Recent research projects have included:

• A study of autism with respect to social education
• A comparative study between UK and US approaches to teaching newly arrived EAL pupils, researching in to the background and ethnicity of a student with relation to the quality of work they produce.
• An analysis of post-school provision for the deaf and hard of hearing. 

W H Page scholars have the opportunity to travel widely in the US and throughout their tour scholars are guests of American members of the ESU. Members provide very generous hospitality and also arrange a cultural programme which enables scholars to not only explore their field of study but also experience other aspects of American life. Scholarships are provided by teaching unions in conjunction with the ESU.
