Knowles Science Teaching Fellowship

The Knowles Science Teaching Fellowship (KSTF) provides support for exceptional young men and women committed to teaching science and mathematics in United States high schools. The fellowship is designed for individuals who have earned or are in the process of earning a degree in a discipline related to the science or math subject(s) they intend to teach. KSTF seeks individuals with outstanding and current content knowledge, typically with a recent content degree earned within the last 5-10 years. The fellowship supports beginning high school science and math teachers who demonstrate the capacity and determination to commit to teaching as their primary career. Fellows receive comprehensive financial support over five years, including tuition assistance while participating in a teacher credentialing program, monthly stipends, and grants for professional development and teaching materials. The program is intended for individuals committed to teaching high school mathematics, physical sciences, or biological sciences and is not designed for those who have previously established a career in another field for more than 5-10 years.
