6-10 fellowships for the Spring Semester.  We
have been awarded the fellowship money for one year.  It is anticipated that each student receiving a fellowship
will receive $2,000 per semester and work in some area of technology for ten
hours a week within the College of Education. 
Technology Fellows will register for and take a three hour seminar class
