Principal ambassador fellows are selected to work for the federal department full-time at its headquarters as Washington Fellows, and part-time on an hourly basis from their home communities as Campus Fellows.
Principals Ball and Zinkil both are finalists for the Campus Fellows opportunity.
Applications are reviewed by a panel of U.S. DOE staff members with experience and expertise in instruction as well as current and previous fellows, and finalists then are selected for the interview level.
Winners usually are announced in March or April.
