Facts and Figures

  • Of the 540 graduated Teaching Fellows (as of July 2009), 43.7% teach in schools with a poverty rating above 70% and 28% teach in at-risk or below average schools.
  • Students admitted to the Teaching Fellows Program remain in and complete their teacher preparation program at more than double the rate of other education majors.
  • The program is funded through the South Carolina General Assembly, and as such the number of students admitted to each cohort is contingent upon the availability of funds appropriated by the General Assembly.
  • The online-based application has increased the number of applications received each year since going online in Fall 2007
