The Newton Fellowship focuses on the shortage of adequately qualified mathematics teachers in our nation's public high schools. The Newton Fellowship Program trains mathematically-talented individuals to become high school math teachers and supports them in the early years of their careers. The program currently operates in New York City and is endorsed by the New York City Department of Education. Math for America expects to expand the program to other cities in the future.

Newton Fellows receive an aggregate stipend of $90,000 over five years and obtain a full tuition scholarship to a master's level teacher preparation program at Teachers College (Columbia University), New York University, or Bard College. They also will earn theirNew York State Teaching Certification and achieve a position as a high school math teacher in New York City.
