Students meet with the supervising faculty member in Camden by arrangement, and may be asked to submit reflection papers or journals regarding what they are learning from their experiences.

The one-year fellowship provides a monetary stipend for education expenses. Students can visit the Eagleton website for an application and information at www.eagleton.rutgers.edu. Information on application requirements is posted each year during the Spring Term, with a deadline in early April.
