Description
James Madison Fellowships are awarded to a select group of individuals desiring to become outstanding teachers of the American Constitution (secondary school level – grades 7 to 12). Junior Fellowships are awarded to students who are about to complete, or have recently completed, their undergraduate course of study and plan to begin graduate work on a full-time basis.
Award
The maximum amount of each award is up to $24,000, prorated over the individual period of study, thus making the James Madison Fellowship the leading award for secondary level teachers undertaking the study of the Constitution. Fellowship payments cover the actual costs of tuition, required fees, books, and room and board but cannot exceed $12,000 per academic year. Normally, Fellows receive less than these maximum amounts.
