Name: South Carolina Teaching Fellows
Award Amount: $24,000 total (up to $6,000 per year for four years)
Information And Eligibility:
The South Carolina Teaching Fellows Program is a highly competitive, merit-based fellowship designed to recruit, develop, and retain exceptional future educators for South Carolina’s public schools. Administered by the South Carolina Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement, the program identifies talented high school seniors who demonstrate strong academic achievement, leadership ability, and a clear commitment to service and teaching.
Each year, up to 200 students are selected as South Carolina Teaching Fellows. The program is not only a financial award but also a comprehensive professional development experience. Fellows participate in specialized enrichment programs, leadership training, and service-learning opportunities throughout their undergraduate years. These experiences are designed to prepare students to become effective, ethical, and community-oriented educators who are ready to meet the needs of South Carolina classrooms.
Recipients must enroll in an approved South Carolina Teaching Fellows Institution and pursue teacher certification in an eligible content area. While fellows may choose a wide range of teaching disciplines, the program places particular emphasis on preparing educators who are committed to serving in South Carolina public schools after graduation. Fellows are expected to uphold high academic standards and actively participate in required program activities throughout the fellowship period.
The financial award provides up to $6,000 per academic year for a maximum of four years, for a total potential value of $24,000. Funds may be applied toward tuition, required fees, books, housing, and other education-related expenses. In exchange for receiving the fellowship, recipients agree to teach in a South Carolina public school for a specified period following certification, helping to address teacher workforce needs across the state.
Selection for the South Carolina Teaching Fellows Program is rigorous and holistic. Applicants are evaluated on academic performance, leadership roles, service involvement, communication skills, and demonstrated interest in teaching. Finalists typically advance through multiple stages of review, which may include interviews and additional assessments. Successful candidates show not only academic strength but also a genuine passion for education and community impact.
The South Carolina Teaching Fellows Program has a long-standing reputation for producing highly effective educators and school leaders. Alumni of the program serve in classrooms, administration, policy, and educational advocacy roles throughout the state. For students who are dedicated to teaching and committed to making a difference in South Carolina’s education system, this fellowship represents one of the most prestigious and impactful opportunities available.
