The North Carolina Teaching Fellows
Program is a 4-year $26,000 scholarship for North Carolina high school seniors
who plan a career in teaching. The scholarship covers most of the cost of
tuition, fees, books and several summer enrichment programs. In exchange
Teaching Fellows must teach for four years in the state's public schools.

The
University of North
Carolina Asheville is known for its
personal approach and unique opportunities. Fellows can experience a
summer at Cambridge,
special academic and social activities, and visits to schools in cities and
rural areas across the country. Teaching Fellows earn a 4-year
undergraduate degree in a subject area while
earning teacher licensure. The liberal arts emphasis at UNC Asheville means we
focus all of our resources on undergraduates.
Each January on the Winter
Adventure Trip, UNC Asheville Teaching Fellows travel to cities such as New
York, Atlanta, New Orleans, and San Francisco to visit schools and
attend cultural events. By visiting these inner-city, rural,
and suburban schools, our Teaching Fellows get an inside look at
education today.
E arly hands-on interaction in
local schools has our Teaching Fellows participating in
award-winning tutoring programs. This gives them an advantage
from the start of their college careers. Programs include
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) tutoring and the
Hillcrest Enrichment Center After-School Program.

University of North
Carolina Asheville Teaching Fellows travel the globe. Our Fellows
are encouraged to participate in Study Abroad and Study Away
programs. In the last several years Fellows have studied in
Australia, Iceland, Alaska and Hawaii. Most spend a summer at
Cambridge University in England, an outstanding three week cultural
and academic experience. A summer program in Ghana is being
planned.
In addition to unique
classroom and travel experiences, UNC Asheville offers Teaching
Fellows a wide assortment of informative seminars and varied
cultural, social and service opportunities. Fellows are
expected to plan and attend social and networking events.
The most important
aspect of our UNC Asheville Teaching Fellows Program is our Fellows
themselves. From Freshmen to Seniors, our students help make
the program a quality experience for all future educators with whom
they come into contact.
