NMC grad wins Washington fellowship

Posted on Jun 07 2004
A Northern Marianas College graduate won an educational scholarship grant from the Washington-based James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation.
Natalie P. Hill becomes one of 54 James Madison fellows named by the foundation this year. The fellowship will fund up to $24,000 of Hill’s masters course, which should include a concentration of history and U.S. Constitution subjects.
The fellowship supports further study of American history by college graduates who aspire to become teachers of the subject in the nation’s secondary schools. The foundation requires its recipients to teach American history or social studies in a secondary school for at least one year for each year of fellowship support.
The foundation, named in honor of the fourth U.S. president acknowledged as the “Father of the Constitution and Bill of Rights,” is an independent establishment of the federal government’s executive branch.
The fellowships are funded by a trust fund in the U.S. Treasury and by additional private gifts, corporate contributions and foundation grants.
