Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award - Portugal

The Fulbright Commission Portugal offers English Teaching Assistant Awards each academic year with the objective of strengthening English language instruction and knowledge of the United States in Portugal through the presence of highly motivated, native English speakers. Five or six grants are awarded annually, depending on availability of funds. English Teaching Assistants are placed at higher education institutions throughout Portugal to assist faculty in planning, preparing and teaching English language classes, give talks on U.S. culture, and engage with local communities. The grant duration is 9 months with either September-May or October-June dates. Grantees receive a stipend, travel allowance, health benefits, and pre-departure and in-country orientation. Teaching activity should not surpass 16 hours per week, and grantees are encouraged to engage in supplementary projects related to their personal, career or educational interests.
