The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation seeks to recruit talented college graduates and mid-career professionals to teach science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (the STEM fields).
Woodrow Wilson’s Teaching Fellowship offers rigorous teaching preparation, extensive clinical experience, and ongoing mentoring, as well as a $30,000 stipend. These new Woodrow Wilson Fellows will be STEM scholars and experts—outstanding college juniors and seniors majoring in these fields, recent college graduates, and second-career professionals—interested in teaching in high-need urban and rural middle and secondary schools.
Accepted Fellows will begin their studies in summer 2011 in a master’s degree program at one of fourteen participating universities in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. In exchange, Fellows will commit to teach math or science in a high-need urban or rural middle or secondary school for three years upon completing the master’s degree and appropriate state teaching certification.
Fellows from various Woodrow Wilson programs, including 13 Nobel Laureates, 35 MacArthur “genius grant” winners, and two Fields Medalists in mathematics, have gone on to achieve international recognition as intellectual leaders and top scholars. The WW Teaching Fellows will become lifelong members of this network of talented academics and leaders.
