23 HCS Seniors Accepted into Teaching Fellows Program

Every year, the SC Teaching Fellows Program recruits up to 230 talented high school seniors into the teaching profession and helps them develop leadership qualities. These students must not only have exhibited high academic achievement and either work experience or a history of service to their school and community, but they must also desire to teach in South Carolina. ​

Students receive up to $24,000 in fellowship funds while they complete a degree leading to initial teacher certification. The fellowship provides up to $5700 for tuition and direct education expenses and $300 for specific enrichment programs administered by CERRA.

This year, 23 HCS seniors were selected as Teaching Fellows. Congratulations to these outstanding future teachers:
