If you want to put your STEM knowledge to work for the young people who need you the most, the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship Program offers an unparalleled opportunity. 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 Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and New Jersey. Eligible applicants include current undergraduates, recent college graduates, midcareer professionals, and retirees who have majored in or had careers in STEM fields.
For top applicants, this prestigious fellowship offers a $30,000 stipend toward completion of a master's degree program at a Woodrow Wilson partner institution in Indiana, New Jersey, or Ohio. Fellows undergo a year-long clinical experience in a high-need school, along with rigorous subject matter courses then commit to teach for three years in urban or rural secondary schools with mentoring throughout the entire process.
