Description
The Marion and Jasper Whiting Foundation Fellowship provides funding for present and prospective college or university teachers, primarily in New England, to support study or professional development at locations distinct from their home institution. The fellowship is designed to broaden educators' perspectives through travel, with the goal of enriching the quality of classroom instruction. Grants are primarily intended to cover travel-related expenses, including transportation, lodging, and meals, rather than tuition, salaries, or equipment.
