The Fellowship also works to change the way top teachers are prepared, partnering with colleges and universities that have agreed to provide Fellows with innovative, year-long classroom experiences, rigorous academic work, and ongoing mentoring.

• admission to a master's degree program at a partner university
• preparation for teacher certification in science, mathematics or technology education
• extensive preparation for teaching in a high-need urban or rural secondary school for one full year prior to becoming the teacher-of-record in a science or math classroom
• a $30,000 stipend, with tuition arrangements varying by campus in Georgia and New Jersey. (Once Fellows are certified teachers at the end of the first year, they obtain salaried employment in high-need schools.)
• support and mentoring throughout the three-year teaching commitment
• support of a cohort of WW Fellows passionate about science and math education
• lifelong membership in a national network of Woodrow Wilson Fellows who are intellectual leaders
