The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship seeks to attract talented,
committed individuals with backgrounds in the STEM fields—science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics—into teaching in high-need
secondary schools in Pennsylvania.
The Fellowship has also prepared over a thousand teachers in Georgia,
Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, and Ohio. Eligible applicants include
current undergraduates, recent college graduates, midcareer
professionals, and retirees who have majored in, or have extensively
studied, one or more of the STEM fields.
The Fellowship also works to change the way top teachers are prepared, partnering with colleges and universities that have agreed to provide Fellows with innovative, year-long classroom experiences, rigorous academic work, and ongoing mentoring.
There are three application deadlines for the 2020 Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship: October 15, 2019, December 3, 2019, and January 30, 2020.
