The Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF) is seeking applicants for
Biology, Physical Science and Mathematics Teaching Fellowships.
The fellowship supports exceptional individuals who are committed to
becoming outstanding high school math and science teachers. KSTF seeks
to promote excellence in science and mathematics teaching in United
States high schools in order to help maintain our nation's economic
competitiveness and reverse the current national trend of high attrition
rates among beginning teachers. We strive to elevate the perception of
teaching as a complex, highly-skilled profession and to nurture future
leaders and change agents in the field of education.
Eligibility Requirements:
Applicants should have at least a bachelor's degree in science,
engineering or mathematics, have received their most recent content
degree within the past five years and be committed to teaching science
or mathematics in U.S. high schools. Individuals who are currently
enrolled in a secondary math or science teaching credential program are
eligible if they are within five years of their most recent content
degree and have not completed their credential before December, 2008.
KSTF Teaching Fellowships are intended to support individuals early in
their careers who have the potential to devote a lifetime to improving
math and science education.
