The Thomas Jefferson Foundation is pleased to announce the Barringer
Fellowship for Teachers of American History, which is designed to provide
individual teachers an opportunity to research and study at Monticello and
the Jefferson Library. The Fellowship will allow teachers to work on
Jefferson-specific projects such as lesson plans, curricular units,
resource packets, or syllabus outlines that will enhance their classroom
teaching. Fellowship recipients will spend two weeks in independent
research and consultation with Monticello scholars on projects that relate
directly to Thomas Jefferson and that will enhance their classroom
presentations.

Fellowships will be awarded to qualified elementary and secondary teachers
who are employed full-time in the classroom. The Barringer Fellowship grant
will include: a stipend of $1,500; travel costs up to $1,000; $1,400 for
lodging in a local hotel; and $50 per diem for food. The grant can be taken
at any time during the recipient's summer vacation, with TJF approval.
