ROCKEFELLER BROTHERS FUNDFELLOWSHIP

Founded in 1992, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowship is available to undergraduate students of color who are currently in their junior year of study.  The fellowship provides up to $22,000 in financial assistance to students of color who apply and enroll full-time in a master's program in teacher education or an education-related program in the fall following graduation.  The goal of the fellowship is to increase the number of highly qualified teachers of color in K-12 public education in the United States.  Princeton University can nominate up to two students each year.  If selected as a fellow, students are required to complete a summer project between their junior and senior year as well as attend a summer program hosted by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.  Applications are available in the fall and are due in December.
