Teaching Fellows Scholarship Program
The North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program is open to application by any North Carolina high school senior. The program awards a $26,000 scholarship through a loan forgiveness program. Awardees receive $6,500 per year for each of their four years in college. For each year that a Teaching Fellow teaches in a North Carolina public school after graduating from college, the state forgives one fourth of the award. At the end of four years of such teaching, the $26,000 award is considered fully repaid. If the teaching obligation is not met, the award must be repaid in full, with ten percent interest per annum.
For further information, applications, and application deadlines, contact a high school guidance officer or the North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program.
