The Teaching Fellows Commission offers 500 scholarships/loans to residents of North Carolina who express an interest in the teaching profession. Teaching Fellows are given a $26,000 scholarship ($6,500 per year). The recipients of this scholarship/loan are required to teach in North Carolina at least four years within seven years after graduating from the University. High school seniors who possess an above-average academic standing, score at least the state average on the SAT or ACT, and have good interpersonal skills, leadership ability, and a record of community service are encouraged to obtain an application from their high school counselor. The deadline for submitting the application is October 31 each year. The finalists for this scholarship/loan are selected by the Teaching Fellows Commission.
