The Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellowship seeks to attract talented, committed individuals with backgrounds in the STEM fields—science, technology engineering, and mathematics—into teaching in high-need Indiana middle and high schools.  Students who major in the College of Agriculture with a strong science background may also be interested in this teaching program.  This fellowship program offers:

• A $30,000 stipend
• A master's degree from an excellent teacher education program at Purdue University, University of Indianapolis, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Ball State University, or Valparaiso University
• Three years of ongoing mentoring as the candidate transitions to teaching
• Lifelong membership in the prestigious national network of Woodrow Wilson Fellows who are intellectual leaders

Eligible applicants include current undergraduates, recent college graduates, mid-career professionals, and retirees who have majored in, or had careers in, STEM fields.  More details about the program are available at The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowships and Purdue’s program, STEM Goes Rural for teacher licensure in biology, chemistry, and mathematics.  An information session will be held on campus on November 3, 2015, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Beering Hall 3229.

The deadline for applying is January 31, 2016 with the STEM Goes Rural program beginning in June 2016.  Undergraduates may apply even though they may not graduate until December 2015 or May 2016.  For further information, contact Kathy Dietz, College of Education, Office of Graduate Studies, 494-2345, STEMGoesRural@purdue.edu.
