    About the program

    NC Teaching Fellows

    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 215 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 initial teacher certification.

    *Or serve in another educationally related professional capacity as defined by the Program (e.g. media specialist, occupational therapist, school counselor/mental health counselor, school psychologist, school social worker, speech pathologist)
