James Madison Fellowship

So I suppose this could be a brick and mortar post, but it could could be easily for eLearning.  One of the teachers, Doug Zywiol, from my former department won the James Madison Fellowship for Virginia last year.  It is a $24,000 scholarship towards a master's degree that will help in teaching the US Constitution.  So Doug, being a hybrid teacher is using it to learn as much as possible how to teach his content using online methodology and will end up with a M.A. in History.

In addition to taking courses they also have a summer program the first year and a great network of teachers to which you would join.

If you are interested in applying, here is the application.  Good luck.
