We are looking for adventuresome and innovative educators who are interested in natural and cultural conservation, sustainability, and life-long learning. Note: You are not eligible for an award if you are already reserved on an expedition. Each educator is limited to two full fellowships, which cannot be in consecutive years. NOTE: While all educators are eligible for general funding, Earthwatch has special grants available exclusively to specific teacher groups. We currently have fellowship opportunities available for K-12 teachers in New England, New Jersey, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Washington DC, Wisconsin, and for private school teachers nationwide. Fellowships are not restricted to these geographic areas and all educators in the US and Canada are encouraged to apply. This list will be updated when any additional sponsorship is pledged. Requirements: Award winners are expected to keep detailed journals, acquire press coverage about their experience and compile final reports, materials and activities to share with others within 30 days of the project's end. Fellows are also required to remain at their current institution for at least one year after their Fellowship. To apply: 1.
