Young Scholars Fellowship Program
The Young Scholars Research Fellowship seeks to support early career scholars engaged in critical research in education. We encourage applications from scholars in all disciplines that promise to make significant scholarly contributions to areas that are consistent with the mission of KSTF, which is improving high school mathematics and science teaching in the United States. More specifically, we support those who can contribute to understanding recruitment, preparation, induction, mentoring and/or retention of high quality mathematics and science teachers.
The KSTF Young Scholars Fellowship is awarded to those who have recently earned a doctoral degree and hold either a research or academic position but are not yet eligible for tenure. The award is $110,000 - typically $55,000 per year for two years.
KSTF usually awards up to three Young Scholars Fellowships per annual funding cycle. The application requires both a pre-proposal and a full proposal. The application deadline for the 2009 Young Scholars Fellowships is June 30, 2008 for pre-proposals and January 7, 2009 for full proposals. One must submit a pre-proposal in order to be able to submit a full proposal. Applications are available online beginning April 1, 2008.
