If you have a bachelor’s degree in math or science, or will receive a degree in one of these areas by May 2009, urban high schools need your talent. If you are interested in becoming a teacher in one of these schools, the University of Indianapolis offers a prestigious national fellowship that could help you get there.
The Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellowship at UIndy leads to a Master of Arts in Teaching degree that will prepare you to become a teacher at the middle and high school levels in mathematics, chemistry and life science. (If you’d like to become a teacher in other subject areas and already have a bachelor’s degree, or are on an emergency license, UIndy’s evening MAT program could be for you.)
Fellows will receive a $30,000 stipend while working on their master’s degree, and must commit to teaching in a high-need Indiana school for three years after graduation. UIndy will enroll 20 Fellows for the 2009-2010 academic year.
UIndy is one of just four Indiana universities participating in the launch of this program through the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. Indiana is the first state in the nation to offer it.
The Fellowship is open to college seniors, graduates, and career changers who:
The Fellowship does not require previous coursework in the field of education nor does it require prior teaching experience.
Applicants must apply to the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation by December 15, 2008 for consideration for the Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellowship. Fellows will be selected by mid-April 2009, and will begin graduate studies in the summer of 2009. All applications will be accepted online at the Fellowship’s Web site, www.woodrow.org.
