Eligibility Requirements:
Applicants must have earned at least a bachelor’s degree in science, engineering or mathematics within the past five years and be committed to teaching secondary science or mathematics in U.S. schools.
Award information:
Fellowships will be awarded to up to 15 individuals in physical science and up to 15 in mathematics. In 2008, the Biological Science Teaching Fellowships will be experimental. Only a small number of fellows willing to shape the program and accept the risk and uncertainty of a new program will be accepted.
While individuals are enrolled in a recognized teacher certification program, fellowship support includes tuition assistance and a monthly stipend as well as room, board, travel expenses and fees for summer professional development activities. Once fellows have begun teaching
full-time, they are eligible to apply for instructional materials grants and school-site mentor support. Additionally, the award includes room, board and travel expenses to three Fellows’ Meetings per year and membership in a professional organization.
Application information:
Application instructions can be found online at www.kstf.org. The deadline for applications is January 14, 2008. Only online applications will be considered.
