The James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation awards fellowships to future and current secondary school teachers of American history, American government, and social studies in grades 7-12 to support their graduate study of the roots, principles, framing, and development of the United States Constitution. Junior Fellowships are awarded to college seniors who will enroll in full-time graduate study leading to a master's degree in American history or political science, Master of Arts in Teaching in history or political science, or a related master's degree in education that permits a concentration in American history, American government, or social studies. Each fellowship recipient must take at least 12 semester hours in topics directly related to the framing and history of the Constitution of the United States.
Fellowships pay the actual costs of tuition, required fees, books, room, and board.
Fellowships do not support study toward doctoral degrees or teacher certificates. Application materials may be requested beginning in September. The deadline for submission will be in early Spring.
