Eligibility

JHU Ph.D. graduate students and Post-doctoral Fellows that have completed some form of pedagological training (i.e., attended the 3-Day Teaching Institute, completed a JHU or CIRTL teacher training course or the equivilant) and have some teaching experience are eligible to apply.  This fellowship requires an educational context to evaluate.  This can be your own course, a course that you assist a faculty with or an educational program. 

Note: if you are in a visa status sponsored by JHU, you must contact the Office of International Services (ois@jhu.edu) to determine your eligibility to engage in paid teaching activities. Failure to do so could result in a violation of your visa status.
