A November online and onsite information session is planned for individuals who want to learn about the $30,000 Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellowship.
The program, made possible through Ball State's partnership with the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, is designed to encourage individuals with outstanding backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, and math—the STEM disciplines—to pursue careers as educators, as well as offer the preparation that will ensure success in the classroom over the long term.

More About the Fellowship Program
The one-year program begins with a summer session of study at Ball State, followed by a full academic year of study at a partner high school. As a fellow, you will
- earn a master's degree in secondary education with licensure in mathematics, physics, or physical science
- have the designation “Woodrow Wilson Fellow,” which signifies excellence, rigor, and selectivity
- receive a $30,000 stipend
Fellows from Ball State will be part of a cohort that will teach in Muncie or Anderson high schools at the same time and continue working together, helping to promote a community of support and learning within and across their schools.
Fellows will receive mentoring and support from experienced teachers, which will help ensure success in the classroom. They also will receive concentrated individual attention from Ball State faculty who are in residence at the high schools as well as from the clinical (classroom) teachers. Mentoring will continue after fellows graduate from the program.
As part of their commitment to ensuring the success of students in high-need Indiana secondary schools, fellows teach for at least three years in an urban or rural school district. Continuation as a teacher of record is contingent on the fellow’s completing the master’s degree and obtaining appropriate Indiana teaching licensure.
