Andrea Naomi Leiderman Fellowships

Quarter-long full-time

Education & Youth Development

The Andrea Naomi Leiderman Fellowship supports undergraduate students conducting research related to low-income youth in California. The fellowship provides a stipend expenses related to nine consecutive weeks of full-time service/research. Leiderman Fellows contribute to ongoing research projects led by Stanford faculty as part of the research-practice partnership between the Graduate School of Education, the San Francisco Unified School District and Sequoia Union High School District. There are over 30 ongoing research projects, including:

Analyzing data on homeless students in San Francisco
Revising tools used to assess English learner instruction
Researching information on key policies related to college and career readiness

We will work with each fellow to match their interests in research, education, and skill-building with the right research project. You’ll be working with some of the best research teams and school district leaders from across the nation on pressing topics in education.
