Hoosier STEM Academy Academic Fellowship
The Hoosier STEM Academy’s goal is to address a teacher shortage in Indiana in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.

Participants in the Fellows Program earn a master’s degree in education in one year if you already have a bachelor’s degree in a STEM field and receive a $30,000 stipend. Participants in the Teachers Program take courses that will let you teach dual-credit STEM classes in underserved Indiana schools and receive a $1,400 stipend for each course taken. Applications will be accepted until the program is full.
