This message was received from José F. Ochoa, director of the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship Program in Princeton, New Jersey:

If you have students, friends, or colleagues who want to put their math or science knowledge to work for the young people who need them most, the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship Program offers an unparalleled opportunity.

For top applicants, this prestigious fellowship offers a $30,000 stipend toward completion of a master's degree program at a Woodrow Wilson partner institution in Indiana, New Jersey, or Ohio. Fellows undergo a year-long clinical experience in a high-need school, along with rigorous subject-matter courses, then commit to teach for three years in urban or rural secondary schools, with mentoring throughout the entire process.

The most successful Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellows come to us through a recommendation from a trusted source — a professor or colleague like you. Any qualified, interested student — or for that matter any potential career-changer you may know — can apply now for the 2014 Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship.

We look forward to hearing from any candidates you can refer to us.
