Graduate Fellows must be citizens, nationals or permanent residents of
the United States. Foreign students who hold student visas are not
eligible.

This program provides support ($3M for 5 years) for graduate fellows
(tuition, stipend, travel, equipment, etc.) who bring their research
into K-12 classrooms, work with K-12 teachers, and also incorporate this
experience back into their research. 

This is a very successful program that can help CISE to reach younger
students, improve K-12 CISE-relevant education, while also providing
support and an invaluable educational experience to CISE grad students.

Additional information concerning the program can be found on the GK-12
Program Home Page

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) GK-12 website
