Our Fellowship Program has 4 main components:

The Fellow will work alongside Education Generation to develop research questions to better understand the impact of our scholarship program in student’s lives and their communities. These questions are also intended to guide the Fellow’s experience and allow them to critically engage in our programs.

Research will include meeting with teachers and principals of our schools, and seek to understand curriculum, future opportunities for student and the financial challenges they face.
