The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation is pleased to announce that Lawrenceville resident Ammar Ahmed is among the newest class of Woodrow Wilson New Jersey Teaching Fellows, announced July 29, 2015 by Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno at an event at The College of New Jersey in Ewing. The highly competitive program recruits both recent graduates and career changers with strong backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, and math—the STEM fields—and prepares them specifically to teach in high-need secondary schools.
Each Fellow receives $30,000 to complete a specially designed, cutting-edge master’s degree program based on a year-long classroom experience. In return, Fellows commit to teach for three years in the urban and rural New Jersey schools that most need strong STEM teachers. Throughout the three-year commitment, Fellows receive ongoing support and mentoring.
