Is FLTA the same as ETA?

No. ETA usually refers to U.S. Student Program applicants teaching English abroad, while FLTA brings selected non-U.S. educators to the United States.

What is a common mistake?

A common mistake is treating the term as a label instead of connecting it to verified requirements, applicant evidence, and the specific Fulbright award context.
