Sure-
I applied on the Earthwatch website, educator opportunities: http://www.earthwatch.org/aboutus/education/edopp/ You have to fill out an application and write a few mini essays. I believe it is highly competitive, but worth a shot....it took me a focused weekend to fill out and complete essays. Definitely worth trying for, as the fellowship pays for almost everything.

I went on an Earthwatch expedition to study coastal ecology in the Bahamas....it was amazing - 2 weeks of amazing research/field experience in an amazing place. I met some awesome teachers too. It was after my 3rd year of teaching in the summer and the trip really revived me and made me want to do more hands-on activities with my students!
