The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship is committed to encouraging talented, dedicated individuals with backgrounds in the STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—into teaching in high-need secondary schools where students truly need teachers that are there to guide and support them and help them achieve their goals. Therefore an important aspect of this program is that Fellows commit to teaching for three years in an urban or rural school district.
