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.
