Fellowship Logistics

The Residency Fellowship is an opportunity to help create an entire suite of high school-level classroom resources (lesson plans, primary sources, and case studies) for the new DemCap Classroom website throughout the duration of six months (May 2026-October 2026).  

​

This fellowship includes a 12-Day Residency Experience from July 10th-22nd, which involves a week of the Democracy and Capitalism Teacher’s Institute. Participants must attend this Residency Experience in this fellowship.  

​

Otherwise, this fellowship is fully remote, with a workload of about 25 hours/week.  

​​Fellowship Payment​​​

All Residency Fellows will receive an honorarium of $10,000, paid throughout the six months of work.

​​

​​​For the 12-Day Residency Experience part of this fellowship, lodging and most meals will be provided. Travel expenses (mileage or economy plane, train, or bus tickets) will be reimbursed for participants after the Residency concludes.

​

Essentially, all accepted participants should face little to no costs to attend the Residency portion of this fellowship.
