Woodrow Wilson-Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color

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.

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. Continuation as a teacher of record is contingent on the Fellow's completion of the master's degree and obtaining appropriate teaching licensure.
