Title:
Earthwatch Educator Fellowships Available to Sponsor Participation
in International and U.S. Conservation Expeditions
Brief Description: The Earthwatch Institute and its partners
offer a number of Educator Fellowships every year to elementary,
middle, and high school educators and administrators.
Earthwatch seeks adventurous, innovative science educators who have
an interest in conservation, sustainability, and life-long learning.
Participating educators work alongside leading field scientists
on some of the most important environmental issues facing the planet
today. Educators may help an endangered species, unearth an ancient
society, or protect threatened habitats.
Applications are considered based on available funding in the applicant's
geographic region, financial need, 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.
Fellowships cover participants' on-site expedition costs, which
include the support of the scientific research, food, accommodations,
on-site travel, and all the various costs of fieldwork (permits,
equipment, etc.). Certain awards also offer reimbursement for travel
expenses associated with getting to the project site and back.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis during the school
year. Applications received by March have the best chances of being
funded.(Note: This program requires an application fee of $35, which
includes a free year of Earthwatch membership.)
Visit the Earthwatch Web site for a list of available fellowships
and application procedures and deadlines.
