Fellowship of the Day: James Madison Fellowships

James Madison Fellowships encourage history and policy sci majors with an interest in teaching to pursue graduate study. Junior fellowships are given to those who have completed or are just about to complete an undergraduate degree and plan to pursue an MA or M.Ed. with a concentration in American history or government. Senior fellowships go to teachers who intend to pursue those same degrees through part-time or night course work.

One more requirement. From the website:

"The Fellow’s proposed plan of graduate study should contain substantial constitutional course work. Fellows are encouraged to choose institutions that offer courses that closely examine the origins and development of the U.S. Constitution, the evolution of political theory and constitutional law, the effects of the Constitution on society and culture in the United States, or other such topics directly related to the Constitution."

At least one fellowship will be awarded in every state, and will offer up to $24,000 in financial support.
