Fellowships and Internships

Howard Hughes Medical Institute/Bryn Mawr College Math and Science Teaching Fellowships

To enable accomplished science and mathematics students to become teachers of the next generation of scientists and scientifically literate citizens, Bryn Mawr College has secured funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) for two Math/Science Teaching Fellowships per year until 2012. This fellowship represents Bryn Mawr's and HHMI's recognition of the key role of math and science educators in society and in the creation of knowledge.

Teaching Fellows complete the post-baccalaureate Bryn Mawr/Haverford Teacher Education Program - typically in the academic year following their graduation from Bryn Mawr - and earn a Pennsylvania Teacher Certification in their subject area (note that most states recognize a Pennsylvania Teacher Certification). For details about the Bryn Mawr/Haverford Teacher Education Program, including course, practice teaching, and testing requirements, click here.

Teaching Fellows are awarded up to $10,000 towards tuition, which ranges in cost from ~$7,120 to ~$12,385, depending on the number of education courses a Teaching Fellow must take.

Because of the nature of the funding, Bryn Mawr students are given preference but Haverford students are also encouraged to apply. Consideration may also be given to bi-college graduates.

For funding in the 2010-2011 year, applicants must submit a personal statement, two letters of recommendation, a transcript, and a current resume to Ann Brown, Education Program, Bryn Mawr College, by March 26, 2010.

The LGB Educational Scholarship Fund

The LGB Educational Scholarship Fund, established in 2005 by the Brodsky Foundation, assists Haverford students with demonstrated financial need, with preference given to students in their third or fourth year who are enrolled in the Education Program and have indicated a desire to pursue a career in teaching after graduating Haverford.

Rudolph Steiner Internship

Funds are available to support Bryn Mawr students who complete a summer internship that includes taking a training course in the Rudolph Steiner approach to education and then commit to teaching in an inner city or comparable public school in a poor district.

Center for Peace and Global Citizenship

Various opportunities appropriate for education students are sponsored by CPGC, including self-designed domestic or international community outreach internships. Students interested in engaging in education-related work beyond the school year may want to consider applying to participate in summer internships, Haverford House, or other options.
