Who is eligible to apply for a Teaching Fellowship?
Individuals are eligible to apply for a Teaching Fellowship if they will have earned at least a bachelor’s degree in an area relevant to the subjects they plan to teach before the fellowship begins in June, such as biological science, physical science, mathematics or engineering. Candidates for Physical Science, Mathematics, or Biological Science Teaching Fellowships must enroll in a secondary teacher credential program before the fellowship is awarded. Individuals who have completed the fourth year of a five-year combined bachelor’s and credential program by the start of the fellowship are also eligible to apply. Those who are currently enrolled in a teacher education program and will be first year teachers in the fall are also welcome to apply (see eligibility).
