Madison Fellowships for
secondary school teachers

The James Madison Foundation Fellowships were created to honor the legacy of the Father of the Constitution by providing scholarships for graduate studies that focus on the Constitution and its contemporary relevance to the practices and policies of democratic government. An applicant must be a U.S. citizen or national, must be a teacher—or planning to be a teacher—of American history, American government, or social studies at the secondary school level, and must have earned an undergraduate degree by August 31, 2001. Junior fellowships are awarded to those who intend to pursue full-time study leading to an M.A., M.A.T., or M.Ed. degree; senior fellowships are awarded to teachers who want to pursue graduate study on a part-time basis. The maximum award is $24,000. For more information and applications, visit the foundation’s web site at www.jamesmadison.com or telephone 800/525-6928. The deadline for applications for the current year is March 1, 2001.
