We are pleased to inform you that the Knowles
Science Teaching Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2013 cohort
of Science and Mathematics Teaching Fellows. The Knowles Science Teaching
Foundation (KSTF) was created by Janet H. and C. Harry Knowles in 1999 to
cultivate and support exemplary science and mathematics high school teachers
and develop the next generation of leaders in education. If you know a student
interested in pursuing a career in teaching mathematics or science at the high
school level, please let them know about the KSTF Teaching Fellowship.
KSTF’s programs are designed to help reverse the current national trend that
sees approximately half of all secondary teachers leave the field within five
years. The total award for each Fellow is valued at nearly $175,000 over the
course of the five-year Fellowship. Fellows receive tuition assistance while
participating in a teacher credential program, monthly stipends, and grants for
professional development and teaching materials. By empowering science and
mathematics teachers to be effective in the classroom, KSTF helps deliver
enriched educational experiences to students and, in the long run, ensures a
stronger, healthier and more competitive nation.
Please forward the flyer below to any interested parties you may know to help
spread the word about our Fellowship Program. Applications will close on
January 9th, 2013 at 12 Noon EST. If you have any questions about our Teaching
Fellowship Program, please feel free to email us at teachers@kstf.org, or contact us at
