The Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers and Spector/Warren Fellowship

The Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers, funded by a generous gift from the Naomi and Martin Warren Family Foundation in Houston, Texas, is developing a corps of pre-service educators who want to learn more about the Holocaust and how to teach about it in their classrooms effectively. The Fellowship was created in 2003 and has more than 400 alumni.

The Warren Fellowship’s main objective is to provide new teachers with the necessary historical and pedagogical tools for teaching the Holocaust from the onset of their teaching careers. 

Upon being named a Warren Fellow, 18 pre-service teachers and two faculty Fellows will attend a six-day institute hosted by Holocaust Museum Houston in Houston, Texas. This institute will immerse participants in historical and pedagogical issues related to the Holocaust. Holocaust scholars from across the country will provide historical content, and university faculty and museum educators will provide pedagogical context.

The 2025 Warren Fellowship will take place May 18 – 23, 2025 at Holocaust Museum Houston. Undergraduate and graduate students who plan to teach high school, middle school, elementary school, or at the university level in art, English/language arts, history, science, and social studies are encouraged to apply

The Warren Fellowship is a fully funded program. 2025 Fellows will receive airfare, hotel, program materials, and meals thanks to the generous support of the Warren Fellowship Endowment Fund and the Naomi and Martin Warren Family Foundation. We offer special thanks to United Airlines, the official airline of Holocaust Museum Houston.

Applications are due March 14, 2025.
