Earthwatch Education Fellowships Available Now: 
Join Scientific Field Research Projects Worldwide

Earthwatch Institute is offering fellowships to fund K-12 educators and
administrators to join scientific research expeditions around the world.
This year, more than 300 fellows will participate in one to three week-long
field research projects, working with diverse teams of volunteers under the
direction of renowned scientists. The experience provides a unique career
development opportunity for teachers and the chance to bring field science
into the classroom. Earthwatch fellowships supply teachers with professional
development, applicable skills, new knowledge, and a renewed appreciation
for learning. Research projects range in discipline, from archaeology to
zoology.  Applications are presently being accepted on a rolling basis.
Funding may be exhausted by March 1st. For an application and more

cultural preservation. There are more than 50,000 Earthwatch members and
supporters from US, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, 3,500 of which
