Remick Fellowship partners with NativityMiguel

WINONA, Minn. — For close to 10 years, the Remick Fellowship Program at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota has provided financial support for potential Catholic school teachers. This year the Remick Fellowship has partnered with the NativityMiguel Network of Schools. The goal is to continue the tradition of bringing highly qualified, committed teachers into the Catholic schools, and — in particular — into the NativityMiguel Network of Schools.

Fellowship recipients will be encouraged to spend the first two years of their teaching career working with the NativityMiguel Network of Schools, which includes 62 faith-based middle schools, serving more than 4,000 students in 27 states. Further information is available at www.nativitymiguelschools.org.

Remick Fellows participate in a one-year program at SMU, which provides the opportunity for those who have earned a bachelor’s degree in a variety of fields to acquire teacher licensure in elementary education (K-6) with an Early Adolescence Specialty (5-8), or Early Adolescence/Young Adult (grades 5-12). Disciplines include mathematics, social studies, modern foreign languages, communication and language arts, life science, physical science and music. Fellows earn a Master of Arts in Instruction degree.

Those who have studied theology and who wish to teach religion in the Catholic schools will receive the M.A. in Instruction degree, but not state licensure.

Through the Remick Fellowship, students who meet the qualifications and are admitted into the M.A. in Instruction program will receive full remission of all graduate tuition and fees during the term of their appointment; full remission of room and board fees in appropriate housing on the Winona campus; and a modest monthly stipend.

The Remick Fellowship Program responds to a need in American Catholic education for teachers at all levels who are not only skilled but also appreciative of the distinct qualities and challenges of Catholic education, including a particular concern for social justice and service to those in need.

The program is endowed by Mary Ann and Jack Remick of Rochester. Throughout their lives, as students in Catholic educational systems at all levels, and as parents of five children who have benefited from Catholic education, the Remicks have been moved to support the future of Catholic education.
