Educator fellowships are awarded through a competitive application process. Applications are considered based on available funding in the applicant's geographic region, and the benefits that would result from participating on an Earthwatch expedition. Fellows are assigned to projects according to their interests, skills, availability, project need, and grant restrictions. Contact us directly with any specific questions regarding our review process.
Eligibility
Elementary, middle, and high school educators and administrators of any discipline are eligible to apply for our Education Fellowship Program. We are looking for adventuresome and innovative educators who are interested in natural and cultural conservation, sustainability, and life-long learning.
You may receive a fellowship only twice, and it cannot be in consecutive years. You are not eligible for a fellowship if you already reserved a seat on an expedition.
Deadlines
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Early applications are eligible for a wider variety of projects. Applications received after February 8, 2010 are subject to more limited funding and projects. Fellowships will be awarded until available funding is exhausted.
