The amount of grant will be around $2,250, and the minimum length of teaching required is 3 weeks (18 hours).

The application procedure and selection criteria are the same as those of the existing OYCF Teaching Fellowships, except that the deadline for applying for this new fellowship is August 31, 2002. Please refer to http://www.oycf.org/Teach/fellowship.htm for details on qualification, application procedure and selection criteria (Please note that the application deadline for other eight fellowhips has been extended to June 20, 2002).
