The James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation is there to help teachers who have the aim of becoming outstanding individuals.
The James Madison Graduate Fellowships offers $24,000 to the teachers of the American Constitution at the secondary school level.
The great thing is that they will compete with the other applicants from the states of their legal residence and not with the others.
One fellowship is awarded per state per year.
