Hoosier STEM Academy-Fellowship Application
The Hoosier STEM Academy is a partnership among Ball State University, IUPUI, Purdue University, and Valparaiso University to provide a one-year master’s degree in education and teaching license with a STEM content focus.  This degree is for students with an undergraduate degree in a STEM content area who wish to teach STEM in an underserved Indiana secondary school. The Academy program will begin in Summer 2018 and continue through Summer 2019.

Courses are designed specifically to meet the needs of individuals with a STEM background who need to learn how to effectively teach STEM content to middle and high school students. This is a traditional face-to-face program although some campuses will include online or blended courses in their programs.  STEM Fellows who wish to participate must be willing to commit to teaching in an underserved Indiana school corporation or an Indiana school experiencing a shortage of qualified STEM teachers for at least three years. Participants will be invited to participate in the Hoosier STEM Academy Mentoring Conference. The fellows will receive a $30,000 stipend to help cover the cost of tuition, fees, materials and/or living expenses.

The Fellowship is open to college seniors, graduates, and career changers who:

• have majored in and/or have 30 or more college-level credits in a STEM field (science, technology, engineering, or math);
• demonstrate a commitment to the program and its goals;
• have U.S. citizenship or permanent residency;
• have attained, or expect to attain by June 30, 2018, a bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S. college or university or its     international equivalent (Note: Undergraduate degrees earned outside the U.S. are accepted if an approved credential evaluator declares the degree equivalent to an earned U.S. bachelor’s degree.);
• a cumulative undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale is preferred (Note: Candidates who can demonstrate excellence through other avenues will also be considered. All applications are considered in their entirety and selection is based on merit.)
