The Margaret Edsel Fitch Fellowship was established by friends of Margaret to recognize her many contributions to the Cooperative Extension Service and to Family and Consumer Sciences at the local, state, national, and international levels. The Margaret Edsel Fitch Fellowship provides a mini-sabbatical experience to an Oklahoma Cooperative Extension faculty member or an Extension Educator in Family and Consumer Sciences adult or youth programs. The Fellowship provides an opportunity to visit and study a relevant program in another state or country.
