Do you have a 3.0 GPA or higher? Are you interesting in teaching? Consider applying for the Woodrow Wilson-Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color. Funded through a $5 million grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Fellowship offers support for Fellows to complete master’s degree programs in education and become excellent educators who ensure student success in high-need schools.
The Fellowship includes:
- a $30,000 stipend to apply toward the cost of a master’s degree at a participating graduate program (see list on the website listed at the bottom of this email)
- preparation in a high-need public school
- support and mentoring throughout the three-year teaching commitment
- guidance toward teaching certification
- lifelong membership in a national network of Woodrow Wilson Fellows who are intellectual leader
As part of their commitment to ensuring the success of students in high-need schools. Fellows teach for at least 3 years in an urban or rural school district. Continuation as a teacher of record is contingent on the Fellow’s completion of the master’s degree and obtaining appropriate teaching licensure.
The deadline for the completed College nomination for this scholarship is October 14, 2011.
If interested, you MUST email Elise LaRose, Assistant Dean of Students at emlarose@uchicago.edu by September 30, 2011.
