1 Lusk Memorial Fellowship Candidate profile Candidates at all degree levels in the creative and performing arts will be considered.
General comments The fellowship is sponsored by a trust established in memory of Charles D. Lusk and Marie Koupal Lusk. Since candidates will be considered for a Fulbright Travel Grant, all Fulbright conditions apply. 5 Fulbright-French Government Teaching Assistantships in English These 5 assistantships are awarded by and administered by both the Centre international d’études pédagogiques (CIEP) and the Fulbright Commission and target priority education areas. Priority education areas are defined in terms of socioeconomic backgrounds (underprivileged populations). As such, they qualify for special support particularly in terms of equipment, i.e., computers, resource centers, sports facilities, etc. Students typically come from multi-cultural backgrounds and have to face personal and academic challenges. The program aims at providing these populations with an opportunity to have direct contact with native speakers of English. All candidates who apply for the English Teaching Assistantship program in France will be considered for both the Fulbright and non-Fulbright TA awards (see below for additional application requirements). However, only five candidates will be sponsored by the Fulbright program; all others will be solely French Government teaching assistants.
Language Excellent French is required.
Academic year October 1 to at least March 30.
Candidate profile For the five Fulbright English teaching assistantships, applicants at all degree levels will be considered. However, Master’s level candidates with experience working in a multi-cultural environment are preferred. Candidates with the ability to incorporate extra-curricular activities, e.g., musical, artistic and/or athletic skills, in their classroom to enhance the intercultural aspects of the program and students’ learning experience, should discuss this in their project statements. Strong preference will be given to future teachers.
