APPLICATION PACKET
Applications for 2000-2001 are due October 15, 1999
The application questionnaire is included below. For additional questionnaires, please see the Director of Graduate Studies in your department, or call or stop by the office of the University Graduate School, Kirkwood 111 (855-8853). The application should include:
Typed responses to application questionnaire
Statement of teaching philosophy
Brief teaching portfolio (syllabi, student/faculty comments)
Letters of recommendation (2) from faculty members

SELECTION
The number of Future Faculty Teaching Fellowships and the academic fields in which openings are available are determined by the faculty needs of the host campuses. The selection process is competitive and will include interviews with departments at the host campuses.
In the past several years, 95 percent of IU Bloomington Ph.D.'s who have found tenure-track positions have found those positions at liberal arts colleges, smaller comprehensive universities, and urban institutions, many of which are similar to IU's non-residential campuses. Applicants are often asked whether they have classroom experience in this kind of environment. AI teaching experience at Bloomington does not necessarily prepare students fully for these job opportunities.
For these reasons the Graduate School has developed the Future Faculty Teaching Fellowship Program, funded by the Graduate School and the University through the Strategic Directions Charter.

The Borns Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University invites applications for the Friends of Borns Jewish Studies Program Graduate Fellowship for the 2000-2001 year.

The Friends of the Borns Jewish Studies Program Graduate Fellowship provides a $15,000 stipedn and a full fee remission to an incoming Indiana University graduate student, and it can be tied to a multi-year package of support through fellowships and teaching assistantships. A special feature of this fellowship is a well developed program of mentoring. The faculty of the Borns Jewish Studies Program is committed to helping our graduate students acquire the full range of professional skills they will need in their future careers, and we aim to foster such development through a close and continuing working relationships with the holders of the Friends fellowship.

Application for admission to graduate degree programs in any of these fields should be made through the individual department. Application statements should clearly demonstrate commitment to the discipline of the home department and to the geographic and/or thematic concentration(s) which the applicant wishes to pursue. The addresses and phone numbers of the department can be obtained from the Graduate School.
Application for the Fellowship:
To apply, students should send the Jewish Studies Program a copy of their full graduate school application, including transcripts, three letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and a writing sample.
