About the program
The National Science Foundation Graduate Teaching Fellowships in K-12 Education (GK-12) program
will support teaching fellowships for UIUC graduate students in the sciences, mathematics, and
social science disciplines. The selected students will collaborate with campus faculty and
participating K-12 teachers to incorporate computer-based modeling, scientific visualization,
and informatics tools in K-12 science, mathematics, and social science education. Responsibilities
of the fellows include developing appropriate materials and visiting classrooms to observe, assist
teachers, and co-teach courses. For more information about the current program please see
http://gk12.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
Application procedure
Graduate students enrolled in the School of Life Sciences, the School of Chemical Sciences, the
School of Library and Information Science, and the departments of Animal Sciences, Anthropology,
Atmospheric Science, Geography, History, Mathematics, and Physics are encouraged to apply for
these teaching fellowships. This program requires a year-round commitment of approximately 20
hours/week, and travel to a collaborating school at least once per week during the academic year.
Fellows will receive a $30,000 stipend, paid in monthly increments. Selection will be based on
the student's education, teaching experience, communication skills, and scientific competence as
represented in the submitted written materials and a personal interview. Prospective applicants
are encouraged to discuss the program with one or more of the participating program faculty listed
