Application Deadline for Society for Science & the Public Fellows Program
The SSP Fellows Program Society for Science & the Public (SSP), with generous support from Intel, is pleased to announce the launch of its Fellows Program. The SSP Fellows Program provides funds and training to selected U.S. science and math teachers who serve under-resourced students, to enable interested and motivated students to perform high-quality independent scientific research. The SSP Fellows Program will attract the most creative and motivated high school science and math teachers in the country. Through a competitive selection process, the Program will provide teachers the financial and training resources necessary to support and inspire the success of their most enthusiastic science students. Fellows may serve for up to four years. The goal is to enable Fellows to guide students to produce project-based research of the highest quality, such as is selected for SSP's premiere science competition, the Intel Science Talent Search. Through a generous grant from Intel, the SSP Fellows Program provides funds and training to selected U.S. science and math teachers who serve under-resourced students, to enable interested and motivated students to perform high-quality, independent scientific research. SSP Fellows will design independent research programs to be implemented in their schools and develop a strong network of scientific mentors for their students. The Fellows Institute will provide intensive training to teachers and enable each Fellow to earn two graduate level credits. Fellows will gain the resources necessary to guide students in their project-based research of the highest quality, such as that selected for SSP's premiere science competition, the Intel Science Talent Search. The application process for the 2010 Fellows class will open November 16, 2009. SSP is dedicated to the achievement of young researchers in independent research and to the public engagement in science. Its vision is to promote the understanding and appreciation of science and the vital role it plays in human advancement: to inform, educate, inspire.
