The Center is now working with high school teachers, schools, and leaders who are interested in piloting the course and providing the Center with feedback and data in an effort to understand its efficacy, including strengths and weaknesses. As a part of this fellowship, each member agrees to implement and evaluate the Constitution 101 15-week curriculum for high school students. National Constitution Center Constitutional Fellows will receive a $2,500 stipend for the year-long fellowship, which will be processed quarterly. Who Can Apply?
