GVSU Announces Fellowship for Math and Science Teachers

Grand Valley will soon be looking for applicants for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation-Woodrow Wilson Michigan Teaching Fellowship. The Fellowship is open to graduating college seniors, recent graduates and mid-career or second-career professionals with degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) who are interested in teaching in Michigan’s high-need, urban secondary schools.

Grand Valley was one of six Michigan universities chosen to participate in the program, aimed at increasing the number of science and mathematics teachers. The university will develop an innovative master’s level teacher preparation program linked with intensive classroom experience in the candidate’s field of expertise.

Applicants selected by the Wilson Foundation and Grand Valley will each receive a $30,000 Fellowship in exchange for a three-year urban teaching commitment. Twenty Fellows will be selected for admission to each of the 2011 and 2012 cohorts. Applicants for the 2011 cohort may apply beginning June 15.
