SC Teaching Fellows
The mission of the 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 230 high school seniors who have exhibited high academic achievement, a history of service to their school and community and/or have work experience, and also possess a desire to teach in South Carolina.
Students who wish to apply must complete an online application between October 1 and December 1 of their final year of high school. Two reference surveys, information about school/community involvement and/or work experience as well as leadership activities, a high school transcript with class rank included, and ACT and/or SAT test scores are collected through the application process. All complete applications are scored by an initial screening committee. Up to 500 qualifying applicants are invited to participate in the Teaching Fellows regional interviews, where they interview with a team of three educators, deliver a short presentation on an assigned topic, and write an essay in response to a prompt.
