Offered by the James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation, the James Madison Graduate Fellowships are $24,000 awards given to individuals who desire to become outstanding teachers of the American Constitution at the secondary school level. After earning their master's degree, each Fellow must teach American history, American government, or social studies in grades 7–12 for one full year for each academic year of funding received under a fellowship, preferably in the state from which the recipient won the fellowship.

Note: Fellowship applicants compete only against other applicants from the states of their legal residence. As funding permits, the Foundation plans to offer one fellowship per state per year.
