Kenan Fellows are public school teachers from diverse disciplines, selected through a competitive process to participate in a prestigious two-year fellowship — all while remaining active in the classroom.

Kenan Fellows Application Period has Closed

Applications for the Kenan Fellows Program are no longer being accepted for this year's fellowships. The Kenan Fellows Program for Curriculum and Leadership Development appreciates the help of all those who have been involved in the process. It is a team effort to select Fellows each year, and we would like to thank nominators, principals, funders, mentors, and most of all, the teachers who have applied. All of you are integral to our effort, and we could not do this without you.

If you are interested in Kenan Fellows news and/or becoming a Kenan Fellow next year, be sure to continue to check this web site AND sign up to get our e-mails! We will be announcing our incoming Class of 2012 in April.
