The Woodrow Wilson-Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color
Apply in January of junior year.
The goal of the Woodrow Wilson-Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color is to help recruit, support, and retain individuals of color as K-12 public school teachers in the United States. Current trends indicate that by the year 2020, the percentage of teachers of color will fall to an all-time low of five percent of the total teacher force, while the percentage of students of color in the K-12 system will likely near 50%. This Fellowship offers an important opportunity to ensure that greater numbers of highly qualified teachers of color enter public school classrooms around the country.
The Fellowship includes:
- a $30,000 stipend to apply toward the cost of a master’s degree
- 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 leaders
