Woodrow Wilson Georgia Teaching Fellowship, M.A.T.

This program is exclusively for named Fellows selected by the Woodrow Wilson Georgia Teaching Fellowship Program. The Woodrow Wilson Foundation will provide stipends to “the best and brightest recent graduates and career changers” with backgrounds in what are called the STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—who wish to change careers to become middle and high school science and math teachers in high-need areas. The program of study is unique in that while it incorporates learning outcomes from the secondary education fields of study, the instructional model is program specific. Fellows complete 36 hours of coursework and a year long intensive clinical experience in a high needs school in Georgia. After successful completion of the program, Fellows are eligible for certification upon passage of the GACE exam in either math or broadfield science. Fellows must then teach in a high needs school in Georgia for three years while maintaining a relationship with Piedmont College.

The Woodrow Wilson Georgia Teaching Fellowship program is open to college seniors, graduates and career changers. To be considered for the Piedmont Fellowship, you must apply through the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation and meet the following requirements:

• Majored in and/or have a strong professional background in a STEM field (science, technology, engineering, math or related field
