Universidade de Aveiro - Bolsa de Participacao e Valorizacao Social

What you get

You earn 4.44 EUR per hour for helping with projects and activities at the University of Aveiro (UA). This is not a fixed monthly grant. You are paid for the hours you actually work. You can be placed in many areas: sport, cultural events, libraries and study rooms, health, the student union, catering, welcoming new students, helping with enrolments, presenting the UA in schools and the summer academy (Academia de Verao). If a task needs it, you get training first. The programme is run by the Social Services of the University of Aveiro (SASUA) to support students who keep studying on a tight budget and to help you build practical skills.

Who can apply

• University: You study at the University of Aveiro, including its affiliated schools ISCA, ESTGA, ESAN and ESSUA.
• Degree level: You are enrolled in a short-cycle vocational course (CTeSP/TESP), a bachelor (licenciatura) or a master (mestrado).
• Field of study: All subjects are open.
• Financial need: You receive Portuguese state social support (Apoio Social), or you recently lost that entitlement under the national student-grant rules.

How to apply

You apply through the online form on the SASUA pages. Applications open on 1 August and stay open the whole academic year. There are no interviews. You sign up, and the university units assign you to an activity area.
