Math for America has put forth a great opportunity for any math, engineering, computer science or applied math major who has an interest in teaching. It may even be a newfound interest, particularly as you approach graduation and go through the "What am I going to do now?" angst. Consider applying for a Newton Fellowship.

Each fellowship includes a series of substantial stipends, a Master's in Mathematics Education and the chance to teach for four years in a New York City high school. Teachers College/Columbia University has been selected as the premier institution to facilitate the Newton Fellowship Program and work with you as you begin your teaching career in New York City. There are 20 fellowships for the next academic year.

The benefits to you include:

• A tuition-free masters in mathematics education.
• A first-year stipend of $28,000 as you get your masters.
• An exciting four years of teaching in a New York City high school.
• Additional salary compensation of 11, 13, 17, and 20 thousand dollars above your New York City teaching salary and benefits.
• A great education in life and the opportunity to make a difference.

Dr. Peter Garrity of Teachers College is responsible for the development and facilitation of this program at Columbia. He will explain the details of the program, and answer any questions you may have.
