The Woodrow Wilson-Rockefeller Brothers Fund
Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color
Funded through a $5 million grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Fellowship offers support for Fellows to complete master’s degree programs in education and become excellent educators who ensure student success in high-need schools. Eligible applicants include individuals of color in their senior year of undergraduate preparation at one of the nominating colleges or universities. Applications for the WW-RBF Fellowship will be available in fall 2009. For more information, please contact Debbie Lynch. |

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

The Commitment
As part of their commitment to ensuring the success of students in high-need schools, Fellows teach for at least three years in an urban or rural school district.
