Luxembourg - English Teaching Assistant Award

The Fulbright Commission in Brussels offers 5 English Teaching Assistant Awards to Luxembourg per year. Assistants are expected to have about 12 contact hours per week with students; activities vary depending on the needs of the students and host institution teachers, and these 12 contact hours do not include prep time for work in front of the classroom. Assistants may be able to enroll in limited courses, including language courses, upon agreement with the host institution on arrival. English Teaching Assistants are expected to serve as cultural ambassadors to Luxembourg, and preference is given to candidates who demonstrate the initiative to integrate cultural events into their lesson plans and who will continue to promote US-Luxembourgish relations upon their return to the United States. The standard grant is for a duration of nine months, following the academic calendar, beginning in mid-September and concluding in mid-June. Grantees are enrolled as students at the University of Luxembourg to grant them access to affordable student housing in the south of the country.
