• EPI Teacher Fellowship Application

    Please read the following information carefully before proceeding with your application:

  • Ecology Project International (EPI) Teacher Fellowships each offer a unique view into science and conservation, taking you into the field with researchers to collect important wildlife conservation data.

    On each EPI Teacher Fellowship, we aim to:

    1. Develop your familiarity with EPI’s approach to education through field science.
    2. Celebrate and reconnect you with the fundamentals of how students learn.
    3. Provide unique experiences and activities to take back to your classroom.
    4. Build a supportive network of educators working toward similar goals.
    5. Introduce you to EPI’s work and encourage future student courses.

    Educator Eligibility:

    1. Formal and informal educators from any country are welcome to apply.
    2. EPI's curriculum is best suited to educators teaching at the middle school, high school, or university level, and applications from these educators are given preference.
    3. Applications from educators of any subject are welcome.
    4. In the interest of creating a diverse and well-rounded group of Fellows, it’s unlikely two applicants from the same school would be selected for the same program. If you'd like to apply with a colleague, please check out our other PD programs.
    5. EPI Fellows who have participated in the past are not eligible to apply.

    If Selected:

    1. EPI covers all costs for selected Teacher Fellows, minus airfare to the program site and a program support fee ranging from $800 to $1,500. Additional scholarship funding is available based on need.
    2. Selected EPI Fellows are expected to actively engage in pre-course preparation calls, complete pre-course and post-course assignments, and serve as enthusiastic ambassadors for the EPI community.

    The EPI Teacher Fellowship application period is open from July 1st to September 1st annually. Applications will be reviewed & evaluated in the order they're received. 

  • I certify that I have read through this information and am ready to proceed with the application.*

  • Thank you for your interest in EPI!
