Andrea Naomi Leiderman Fellowship

The Andrea Naomi Leiderman Fellowship is designed to support a student conducting research on a topic relating to the education of children and youth, particularly in local, under-served communities of Northern California. Students selected as Leiderman Fellows receive a grant of $4000 ($1500 in Autumn and Winter Quarters and $1000 in Spring Quarter), and are expected to give an informal presentation of research results and implications for practice in May.

The ideal fellowship recipient will be a Stanford undergraduate (a sophomore, junior, or senior) who will:

1. Conduct research on an issue centering on youth and education in California. The research may be for an honors thesis, a Chappell Lougee grant, a Community-Based Research Fellow project, or an independent project supervised by a faculty member. The project must relate to the student's public service-related experiences, further a commitment to working with children and youth, and be designed to provide results that can be applied to practice.
2. Demonstrate consistent engagement with the issue through coursework and/or service.
