The SC General Assembly began funding the South Carolina Teaching Fellows Program in 1999. The mission of the 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 initial teacher certification. The fellowship provides up to $5700 for tuition and board and $300 for specific enrichment programs administered by CERRA. All Teaching Fellows awards are contingent upon funding from the SC General Assembly. A Fellow agrees to teach in a South Carolina public school one year for every year he or she receives the Fellowship.

You might have heard about Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS shoes. Mycoskie wanted to support those who live in poverty. His company donates one pair of shoes for every one sold, raising awareness about issues like global poverty.
PC students do that kind of thing too.
When her mother became ill, rising sophomore Maggie Judd came up with the idea to create a business that lends medical equipment to those in need.
Maggie and her family couldn’t find the medical equipment they needed. Maggie thought of others who might not be able to rent or buy the medical equipment they need.
She created a nonprofit organization that makes use of the material resources already available in the community and shares them with other patients.
“An outreach project like a durable medical equipment loan service is my chance to make a difference in my local community and help my neighbors,” Maggie wrote in her Service Entrepreneurship Competition proposal.
The Service Entrepreneurship Competition is a social entrepreneurship case competition open to all high school seniors in the U.S. Students must apply to PC by December 1 and may work individually or in teams of two or three.
