Teaching Fellows Application
The Teaching Fellows Application is now open!

The mission of the South Carolina Teaching Fellows Program is to recruit talented high school seniors into the teaching profession and help them develop leadership qualities. Each year, the program provides Fellowships for up to 200 high school seniors who have exhibited high academic achievement, a history of service to their school and community, and a desire to teach in South Carolina.

Teaching Fellows participate in advanced enrichment programs at Teaching Fellows Institutions, have additional professional development opportunities, and are involved with communities and businesses throughout the state. They receive up to $24,000 in fellowship funds (up to $6000 a year for four years) while they complete a degree leading to teacher certification. A Fellow agrees to teach in a South Carolina public school one year for every year he or she receives the Fellowship. 

Please visit our  website  to read more about the Teaching Fellows Program and to access the application.
