TEACHER FELLOWSHIP APPLICATION INFORMATION

****$1800 Research Fellowships****Application Form*****

The response has been phenomenal. If interested in being awarded a prestigious $1800 Eisenhower Research Fellowship, please rush the application below back to me by return email (steven.oppenheimer@csun.edu)

Even if you already responded by an abbreviated application, we require this complete application for our records.

To get your $1800 stipend you must:

• Complete 120 hours of research and classroom implementation planning

• Submit a research/classroom implementation report signed by your mentor
   (hard copy and Web Posting)

• Try to submit an abstract for publication in the Journal of Student Research Abstracts, co-authored by your students (deadline, Feb. 1 of each year). This is a prestigious accomplishment for you and your students and principals often love you for it. The research for this abstract can be done in one class period as a joint experiment, with all of your participating students as co-authors. These group abstracts are often the best.

• If you do well in this program, continuous $1800 fellowships may be possible.

• All research scheduling is made by mutual agreement by you and your research mentor.
